029.09 | A low flat topped hill to the East of Kilsyth, containing about 180 Acres, given by Lord Kilsyth about two centuries ago to the Feuars of the village, to be enjoyed by them as a Common, but subject to a feu duty. The Feuars subsequently took advantage of an old Act of Parliment and divided the Common into seperate lots, varying in size according to the property each possessed, Those lots are for the most part fenced and such as are not are well defined by narrow stripes of grass which have been shewn on trace in dotted lines. The name Barr Wood is distinctly applied to the whole of the hill and not to the wood which is on it, There is no evidence to show that it was ever covered with wood. There is a feature on it known as the "Court Hill" which see. |
