| Campsie Fells (Continued | 021 | [continued from page 9] part of the parish and comprise a number of hill features most of which form according to the course of the principal streams. The "Earl's Seat" in the north western extremity of the parish (21.9) and the chain of Hills adjoining Strathblane which form the western Boundary of Campsie south of it (Earls Seat) fall to the Fin Glen, and the heights east of Fin Glen standing over the Clachan of Campsie fall to the Kirk Burn, which breaks the range. "Lecket Hill" is the principal hill, east of the "Craw Road" and the "Kirk Burn, which connects the range on this side with the "Meikle Bin" in Fintry Parish, in direction of Stirling by the range described in the Account on the other side. The only proper Fells in the parish are those which stand on the north side of Lennoxtown and which extend as Fells to the adjoining parish of Kilsyth - eastwards. Cort-ma-Law is the highest part of this range which is said to be 1500 feet above the level of the sea. The steep side of this range has many craggy precipices. Two Plans describe these Fells as the Campsie Fells, and they are commonly called so, but the more intelligent generally apply the name to the whole of the Hills in the Parish. A yellow shade shews the brow of the Hills west of "Kirk Burn", but Lecket Hill, which connects the range eastwards towards Stirling including the "Meikle Bin" could not be arranged this way as the Fells over Lennoxtown are not well connected with, but appear more as a distinct range of itself. Nor is "Lecket Hill" connected , like the hills westwards, with the Meikle Bin - both being separate hills having a considerable ravine between them formed by the descent of the two towards each other. (See the application of "Campsie Fells" on County Maps.) The New Statl. [Statistical] Account in alluding to the Caledonian Forts describes them as being at the foot of the Campsie Fells", which means the only Fells in the Parish, north of the village of Lennoxtown. |
