| Buchanan (Continued) | [continued from page 1] "the parish of Arrochar, on the North; by Loch Katrine & by the parishes of Aberfoyle and Drymen, on the East; and by the River Endrick, on the South. The annexed part is situated in the Lowlands of Scotland, consisting of fertile alluvial land on the bank of the Endrick, & of a track of ground gently rising towards the base of the mountains. The rest of the parish is in the Highlands, & forms the Western termination of the Grampian hills. It is a mountainous ridge, extending along the bank of the lake; deeply indented, on the East, by Glendow, where the River Forth has its rise: & intersected near the North end by Glenarklet, a vale extending from Loch Katrine to Lochlomond. Conic Hill forms the southern acclivity of the Grampian range. The most striking object is Benlomond, on the North it is precipitous; on the South, setting out from the Inn of Rowardennan on the bank of the lake, you ascend easily in three hours. When you reach its conical summit, overtopping every surrounding eminence, you have on the North an endless succession of Mountains, like the billows of the stormy ocean; & on the South, as on a map, the riches and beauty of the central district of Scotland, from the Western Isles to the Frith of Forth" New Stat. [Statistical] Account There is no portion of this Parish detached in any other parish, nor is there any portion of any other parish contained within the bounds of this parish. |
