Ph. [Parish] of Carstairs

River Clyde (Continued)

while in others it still limped & deep forming pools for the pike and a quiet retreat for wild ducks and other acquatic birds __ while the Clyde in Winter aids the farmer by deposition of its rich slimy mud, it at other seasons becomes his dread by bursting with rapid innundation on his holms when in Crop and leaving desolation in place of luxuriant fertility. ___________ Statistical Account Carstairs Parish
