The parish of Balfron is in the Presbytery of Dumbarton, Synod of Glasgow and Ayr. The name of this parish may, from its etymology, mean the Town on the Burns, or the Town of Mourning. In the former case, the name is descriptive of its locality; the original clachan or town being situate at the confluence of two inconsiderable streams. In the latter case, the parish may be supposed to take its name from an event or rather an interesting character, and which forms a part of its traditionary history. On one occasion it is said, when the aborigines had gone to a little distance to attend on their religious rites, they left their children in their tents. On their return, they discovered, to their horror , that they had been all destroyed by the Wolves which infested this part of the country, in common with other districts in Scotland at this period, and hence, ever after, the place was called the town of "Weeping or mourning". Which of the two derivations is the correct one, we leave the curious to determine. It is bounded on the east and south east, by Gargunnock and Fintry; on the south and north-west [Continued on Page 2] |

[Continuation from Page 1] north-west, by Killearn and Drymen; and on the north and north-east, by Drymen and Kippen. The clachan, at one time, was the chief, if not the only point of attraction in the parish. It still deserves prominence; for here, the parish church still stands, surrounded by the grave yard, always an object of deep interest to the population. Here also is the Smithy, and the old oak tree, of fourteen feet in circumference, in the very heart of the clachan, in which were fixed the jougs of the parish. In 1832 it was necessary to rebuild the parish Church. In 1833 it was opened for public worship, it is seated for 700. None of the seats are let. The expense of the building and finishing this fabric, including plans and specifications, was, in all, £930. The Earl of Kinnoul is patron of the living, as proprietor of an old Abbey in Perthshire. The minister of the parish preaches once every 6 weeks in summer at the school house of Lernock, about 5 miles to the east of the present parish Church. In Winter he does this once a quarter. The Manse was built about 40 years ago at a cost of something under £300; originally a poorly built and ill finished house. The heritors have in consequence been frequently called upon to repair it at considerable expense. There are 17 acres of glebe, and the living is one of the small ones, a considerable portion of the stipend being made up from the Exchequer. There are no detached portions of this parish, nor are there any detached portions of any other parish Situated with it. The parish contains 7876 Statute Acres. |

This name applies to a recently constructed aqueduct for the conveyance of the water of Loch Katrine to Glasgow, with the view of insuring a regular and unstinted Supply to that city; the worKs consist of numerous tunnels cut through the rocKy elevations, and smaller aqueducts of masonry thrown across the various roads, rivers, railways and Streams over which it passes. Where the Soil is Soft and the excavations Shallow, a series of cast iron piping three feet in diameter has been used. The distance from Loch Katrine to Glasgow over which this worK extends is from 32 to 33 miles, its construction extended over Several years, at a vast expense, and was sufficiently far completed as to be opened by Her Majesty at Loch Katrine on the 14th October 1859. |

"It was at Edinbelly, in this parish that Rob Roy junior abducted Jean Kay or Wright, and for which he suffered the last penalty of the law at Edinburgh. Jean Kay, whom Rob abducted, was the heiress of Edinbelly, and, though not quite 15 years of age, was the widow of Mr. Wright of Wright's Park. She is described as being interesting enough in her appearance, and rather of a comely countenance. One evening, a very few weeks after Mr. Wright's death, Rob, with a party of 15 Highlanders, landed unexpectedly at Edinbelly, and carried the young widow off to his retreat in the Highlands. In process of time he was pursued, taken, convicted, and executed for the crime." Statistical Acct. [Account]. There are no remains of the old mansion house of Edinbelly. |

Formerly the principal village in the Parish, but now containing only a few houses one and two Storeys high belonging to various proprietors, and the Church, the remainder are in ruins. There is still standing in the middle of the village a very old oaK tree 14 feet in circumference on which there was formerly one of three curious old implements of punishment called a Jougs. The Toll Bar is situated at the entrance of the Clachan at which full rates are levied. |

As a form of punishment, the jougs consisted of a metal collar with a short chain attached. The collar was secured around the offender’s neck and the other end of the chain fixed at head height to an immovable object (in this case the tree). The miscreant could only stand and accept public humiliation. |
