021.04 | A Small hill on the Western face of the Fintry Range. It is chiefly remarkable for a range of basaltic columns on its front, which rise to a perpendicular height of some 50 feet. It is flat and circular on the top and like "Dunbeg" bears evidence of artificial work, and is supposed to be another in the line of beacons between Sir John de Grahams Castle in St Ninians Ph. [Parish] and the Castle in Balfron Ph. [Parish]. This seems probable as "Dunbeg" is in view of the Castle in Balfron Ph., "Drumbeg" is in view of "The Dun", and the last again is in view of Fintry Castle, which was in communication with Sir John de Grahams Castle. |

Ordnance Survey - Stirling county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Stirling, which is in central Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
