Balgaidh Burn is a watercourse in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.[1][2][3] It is the main inflow and outflow of Bishop's Glen Reservoir,[4][5] which is located a short distance above Dunoon, to the town's southwest. The burn begins a further 1.3 miles (2.1 km) southwest of Bishop's Glen Reservoir, at an elevation of around 1,150 feet (350 m).
On its journey southeast out of the reservoir,[6] the burn flows beneath Kilbride Bridge, the Red Bridge, Wellington Street (A815) and, immediately before its discharge into the Firth of Clyde at Dunoon's West Bay, the Victoria Parade footpath.
