context_page_description: Glen Finglas is a glen in the Trossachs, in the Stirling council area of Scotland. It is an area of forest in Highlands of the former county of Perthshire, north of Brig o' Turk, close to Callander in Menteith. To the west is Loch Katrine.
  Part of the Glen was a royal hunting forest. From the 1450s, laws protected the forest area and restricted the rights of tenants in surrounding lands to encourage deer for the hunt.
  A flat mound called "Tom Buidhe" near the Glen Finglas Reservoir is thought to be the site of the Hunt Hall, first built for James II of Scotland in the 1400s. James IV came to the Hunt Hall in August 1505 bringing tents and pavillions for extra accommodation. He was supplied with dairy goods by two women from Duntreath, and eels and pikes from the Lake of Menteith. Mary of Guise hunted in the Glen with James V soon after her arrival in Scotland in 1538, riding to the Hunt Hall from Stirling Castle with six ladies in waiting.
  The Scottish novelist and poet Sir Walter Scott wrote the poem "Glenfinlas; or Lord Ronald's Coronach" in 1803.
  The Glenfinglas estate was acquired by the Woodland Trust Scotland in 1996 and is open to the public.
