Forsa, a rivulet of Torosay parish, Mull island, Argyllshire. Rising on the skirt of Bentalloch, it runs 6½ miles north-north-westward along a glen called from it Glenforsa, and falls into the Sound of Mull at Pennygown, where its width is 22 yards. It contains both salmon and sea-trout, and is open to anglers from the Salen Hotel. Glenforsa has an average width of ¾ mile, and is flanked by grassy or heathy hills, that rise with an acclivity of 30 degrees.
