A small hamlet, comprised of two good cottages and a row of cottars' houses, on the side of Loch Long. Close to the side of the Loch there is a shed used for building small pleasure-boats. The word Ard signifying a promontory, the name, Ardmay, applies to the projection into the Loch at this place as well as to the hamlet. The projection is a piece of flat arable land, but the wood on the east rises to a considerable height and has a very dark appearance. |

007 |
An artificial intrenchment on the side of a very steep hill on the side of "Loch Long", about ½ a mile from "Strone T.P." [Turn Pike]. The principal ditch is nearly 20 chains in length, of an average breadth of 10 feet and a depth of 4. The earth has been thrown up from the ditch so as to form a considerable embankment in front, which would completly screen from view any person behind it. At its Northern extremity, which seems to have been the entrance to it, it is close to the Loch and on comparatively flat ground. Proceeding Southwards, where its formation is more perfect, it ascends the hill till it terminates in two ditches coming to a point. At this part the hillside is very steep. It is evidently of very ancient construction, though nothing is known relating to it by the people in the neighbourhood, to whom it is well known as the French Rig, though for what reason they cannot explain. Neither is there any account of it in the extracts relating to the Parish.
Upon referring it to the Rev [Reverend] Dr. [Doctor] McFarlan of Arroquhar, he is of opinion that it may be in connection with the expedition of Haco, King of Norway who in the Winter of 1262-3, and previous to the Battle of
Contd. [Continued on page 6] |

The mountain on the north end of the high range which runs between "Loch Lomond" and "An Tsreang". It rises to a great height and is the highest hill in the southern part of the parish. Its side next Loch Lomond is very rugged and steep, and is covered with innumerable knolls presenting a rocky appearance, and occasionally interspersed with small trees. The side which slopes to "An Tsreang" is of a much more regular appearance with very few rocks. On its summit are two large knolls one of which, "Cruach-a-bhuilg", is the highest point of the mountain. The other bears no name. The name "Ben Reoch", which signifies the streaked or spotted mountain, is now almost unknown, and except by the elder inhabitants of the district is generally styled "Arroquhar or "Stuckgown Hill", but the top, "Cruach a- bhuilg", is known to all. |

A small scotch yew near "Stuckd-an-tiobairt" traditionally reported to have been the resting place of King Robert 1st, while on one of his expeditions. It is of very remarkable appearance and seems to be very ancient. The root has so interwoven itself with a small rock as to give it the appearance of being composed of stone. The trunk is about 4 feet in diameter and the branches cover a space of 90 feet in circumference. The tree is about 15 feet in height, but, as the branches are regularly pruned with a view to its spreading, its growth is stunted. |

An extensive valley running through nearly the whole breadth of the County, which is here nearly 5 miles broad. It is entered from Loch Long side by a steep acclivity which continues for ½ a mile and up which a parish road runs in a zigzag direction. It then becomes nearly level the ground being flat and generally cultivated for a breadth of a quarter of a mile, though from long neglect a great portion of the land is regaining its original heathy appearance. Nearly midway through the glen it is joined by "Cona Ghleann" running Southwards and a little further on "An Tsreang" running Northwards after which it proceeds in nearly the same state as already described till approaching its eastern termination it becomes narrower and the ground more rugged. It terminates on the east at "Inveruglas" on the side of "Loch Lomond". The hills on each side rise to a great height and [continued on page 30] |

"On the top of the hill is the enchanting "Lochan Uaine" which empties itself into the bay of Camsnaglash. It was said in ancient times to have been employed by a tribe of fairies as a bowl or tub in which they mingled dyestuffs. Any person desirous of having his wool dyed proceeded about dusk to the banks of the enchanted lake, laid down the bundle to be operated upon, together with a thread of the particular colour wanted, and retired. Returning in the morning he was sure to find his goods nicely finished and dyed to the very shade".

A large flat rock, approaching an oval shape, situated at the point where the North side of "Loch Goyle" joins "Loch Long". At high water this rock is surrounded by the sea, and at low water forms a peninsula.
About 30 years ago when fish were more plentiful in the Loch this rock was the frequent resort of seals which were in the habit of scrambling to the top of it and there basking in the rays of the sun, which accounts for the name . It is equally well known as "Carraig nan Ron" or as the "Dog Rock". |

A valley extending nearly five miles in length. It leaves "Glen Gillanoch" (Johnston's Co. [County] Map) nearly a mile south of "Craggan" and rises gently to the source of "Luss Water" at which part the hill on the South presents a very rugged aspect. At this point its bottom is flat and about 15 chains in breadth. It then falls for about a mile when it becomes narrower and the hills rising from each side spring up very abruptly. Passing the dwelling house of "Gleann-na-Caorruinn" the bottom again becomes flat which continues to the point of junction with "Gleann Molachan" &"Glen of Luss". The name signifies the Glen of the rowan tree or mountain ash. The article "na" which should be retained, has become corrupted and is now always used as "ma". |
