A range of hills extending through the Phs. [Parishes] of Campsie, Fintry, Killearn, & Strathblane. The face of the hills is broken with crags and glens; the north face more especially is very steep and precipitous; and on the summit and back part, is a deep moorground interspersed with moss, and forming a good pasture for sheep. The hills have the appearance of volcanic origin; and in many parts rude basaltic pillars are seen. In many places the hills appear statified; but the strata dip much and are sometimes nearly perpendicular. The stratified tracts contain coal, limestone freestone, ironstone &c. The highest point of the Campsie Fells is "Earl's Seat" which is about 1500 feet above the level of the Sea. |

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.
