With the establishment of a station at Craigendoran the North British Railway needed to establish a source of water for locomotives and paddle steamers at the station. This glen was one of the sources of water, another being the Woodhead Dam above Woodhead cottage. Both sites were on the Camis Eskan Estate.
Helensburgh Heritage - Railway Glen has a page with the naming of this glen.
