016 | A range of hills running in a Southwesterly direction through the parish. The north face of the whole of this range is extremely Steep and precipitous; and the formation of the rock here is very peculiar; there are in some places three or four tiers of perpendicular rocks running in an almost continuous straight line, and rising one over another to the height of from 20 to 50 feet each, and with a broad dais or terrace between each of them. They slope gently down to the South until they come to the water of Endrick which separates them from the range of the Lennox hills. The character of the hills is moorland and they afford excellent pasture for Sheep. The principal hills in the range are Carleatheran & Tulmore. The greatest height about 1500 feet. |
