007.06 | A considerable river having its source from "Ben Lomond" and running in an easterly direction to where it receives a river which issues from "Loch Ard" in Aberfoyle. "The Forth," says Dr. [Doctor] Graham, speaking from personal exploration, "has its source from a spring in the northern side of Ben Lomond near the summit. It traverses Stirlingshire for 10 miles from its source under the appellation of the Water of Duchray, augmented, as it proceeds, by numberless mountain streams. It then enters Perthshire, where it receives an accession equal to the volume of its own Waters, in the river which issues from Lochard in Aberfoyle. It then assumes the name of Avondow or "Black River". After a course of about 5 miles, it again joins Stirlingshire below Gartmore house. where it obtains the name of Forth, which it retains." Report of Stirlingshire. p. [page] 60. The late Rev. [Reverend] David MacGibbon Minister of the parish in which Benlomond is situated, says that the stream which begins the Forth is called Glenguoi" Nimmo's History of Stirlingshire 2nd Vol [Volume] page 585 |
