'''Glensanda''' (Old Norse, the glen of the sandy river) was a [[Viking]] settlement at the mouth of Glen Sanda{{r|RCAHMS}} on the [[Morvern|Morvern peninsula]] within south west [[Lochaber]], overlooking the island of [[Lismore, Scotland|
Glensanda Castle (''Caisteal Na Gruagaich (Maiden's Castle)'';{{r|RCAHMS}} overlooks the mouth of the Glensanda River which tumbles down 400 metres along its 5-mile course from 'Caol Bheinn' into Loch Linnhe. The castle was the main base of the [[Clan Maclean|Macleans]] of Kingairloch (Kingerloch) since the 15th century, but the population fell from 500 to zero after 1812 when they emigrated to [[Pictou]], [[Nova Scotia]].{{r|Indy}}{{r|CamUni}}{{r|MacHist}}
