011.13 | "In this neighbourhood the River Calder forces its way through steep rocks to Castle Semple Loch. It pursues a devious Course, and forms in different places romantic waterfalls. Its banks which are overhung with wood both natural & planted, are exceedingly picturesque. These beauties were first pointed out by Alexander Wilson, the ornithologist of America, who resided in this parish some years before his emigration. In his muses on Calder Banks he thus lamented the neglect to which, till his time, this scenery had been doomed." Ramsay's Views of Renfrew This place is best known by the name Calder Bank (see the Bleachfield to which it gave a name) It is celebrated for its beautiful & romantic scenery wh. [which] attracts many visitors. The banks, covered with wood, are very steep, & at some places appear to be nearly perpendicular. |
