Here's a quick surname map for Glenn in Great Britain based on the 1881 Census. It shows the greatest concentration of the name in England:http://gbnames.publicprofiler.org/Ma...y=GB&type=name
If you're interested in pursuing a more definite connection to Scotland, or the Highlands specifically, it will mean steady, deliberate genealogical work to determine exactly where your ancestors came from.
Best of Luck,
David
