Two of the summits overlooking the Forth are Bencleugh, or the Hill of Alva, the loftiest of this Range - and Demyat-Hill, in the parish of Logie - advancing a little from the contiguous range, breaking almost sheer down in stupendous rocky cliffs into the plain, and commanding a fine prospect over the basin of the Forth. Most of the Range is of a beautiful Green and affords excellent sheep-pasturage. The main range is unusually rich in its minerals & coal is found in abundance at its base. |
