031.07 | A long narrow River which rises in the Co. [County] of Dumbarton, and after a circuitous course falls into the Firth of Forth. "The river Avon so circles round the parish as not only to give it its name, but to form on all sides, excepting the west and northwest, its boundary line; it traverses while in contact with it measured in straight lines and regular segments [a distance] of 10ΒΌ miles, but measured along its beautifully sinuous bed, of probably 15 or 16 miles; and over most of the way it is richly curtained with wood, or traverses a romantic and lusciously featured vale or dell, or otherwise possesses features of high scenic interest." ** "The Avon and the finely wooded valley through which that romantic stream runs, is crossed by a viaduct of 20 arches, (Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway) some of them upwards of 90 feet in height, and of beautiful light masonry, from which the magnificient aqueduct, by which the Union Canal is led across the same valley, at a point a little higher up the stream is visible in its full extent." (Gazeteer of Scotland 1842) |
