The Cairngorm Club Journal 024, 1905
EARL'S SEAT. BY REV. A. GORDON MITCHELL. ON 9th August, accompanied by Rev. Mr. Scrymgeour, of the Presbyterian Church, Jersey, I set out for Earl's Seat, the highest of the Campsie Fells (1894). The morning was bright and promising, the air sharp and exhilarating; and although the sky was by no means cloudless, the country was flooded with almost uninterrupted sunshine. Proceeding for some hundred yards or so along that por- tion of the Balfron road now known locally as the King's Mile from the fact that our gracious King, when Prince of "Wales, drove backwards and forwards there for some time admiring the view of Loch Lomond and the heights that form the sky-line beyond it, we left the high road and struck across country to the south. The first part of the walk was easy, being over hay stubble and grass. We paused a moment to admire the floral symbol of our native land as abundantly represented in one of the fields through which we passed. Its " bush of spears ", its purple crown of such exquisite softness and beauty, its capacity for dis- seminating its species over the earth by means of its flying " down " mark it out as a singularly appropriate emblem of a country noted for the valour of its men, the beauty of its women, and the ubiquity of its children. It was no doubt bad farming, but true patriotic sentiment, that made Robert Burns turn "the weeder-clips aside and spare " the emblem dear ". Safely escaping from " barbed wire entanglement", we came upon a group of Scots fir, the grass being dotted with a few flowers of the scabious and Theragged Cairngormrobin species. -

These are the aims for managing local flood risk. The objectives have been grouped in three main ways: by reducing risk, avoiding increasing risk or accepting risk by maintaining current levels of management. Objectives Many organisations, such as Scottish Water and energy companies, actively maintain and manage their own assets including their risk from flooding. Where known, these actions are described here. Scottish Natural Heritage and Historic Environment Scotland work with site owners to manage flooding where appropriate at designated environmental and/or cultural heritage sites.
