Glen Eagles

(The spelling as two words, 'Glen Eagles', is as shown on UK Ordnance Survey maps.)

The name's origin has nothing to do with eagles, and is a corruption of eaglais or ecclesia, meaning church, and refers to the chapel and well of Saint Mungo, which was restored as a memorial to the Haldane family which owns the Gleneagles estate.

Little remains of Gleneagles Castle, the early 16th-century tower house of the Haldanes.

The Caledonian Railway Company used its name for the Gleneagles Hotel and golf course they built some distance from the glen at the edge of Auchterarder.

Gleneagles railway station, formerly known as Crieff Junction, is on the line between Perth and Stirling.
