I.—NOTES on a TILL or BOULDER CLAY with BROKEN SHELLS, in the Lower Valley of the River Endrick, near Loch Lomond, and its Relation to certain other Glacial Deposits. By ROBERT L. JACK, F.G.S., of tlie Geological Survey of Scotland* [Read loth Jan., 1874] THE eastern angle of Loch Lomond is at present being rapidly silted tip with the detritus carried into it by the River Endrick. Many acres of land have been gained from the Loch during the lifetime of some of the present residents on its shores. From the eastern extremity of the Loch there stretches, for some miles inland, a broad alluvial flat, through which the lower part of the Endrick pursues its crooked course. It is impossible to doubt that when the great icy graving tool was withdrawn, an arm of the newly made lake covered the site of this extensive alluvial flat. During the intensest cold of the glacial period, the valley of the Falloch (the site of Loch Lomond) was filled by an ice- sheet of immense thickness, which scored the side of Ben Lomond with strise (parallel to the direction of the valley) to the height of 2,250 feet above, while it grated over a bottom no less than 600 feet below the present level of the sea. At this period the Menteith Hills, which rise to 1,400 feet, and whose tops present a perfect example of a moutonne outline on a large scale,f * Of the facts mentioned in the following paper, those which were dis­ covered in carrying on the Geological Survey are communicated, with.the permission of the Director-General, in anticipation of the official Maps and Memoirs. f This appearance is so marked from the southern side of the Carse of Stirling, that the range is known to the inhabitants of Kippen and Bnchlyvie as "The Scolloped Hills."

OF GLASGOW. were overridden, and the Campsie and Kilpatrick Hills, though rising to 1,894 feet, were buried beneath the sheet of ice which flowed south-eastward out of the Highland glens. By contouring the bottom of the lake (from the data afforded by the soundings on the Admiralty Chart), I have found that there are no less than twelve separate basins between Ardlui and Balloch. These hollows are, without exception, elongated in the direction of the valley, and follow pretty nearly the sinuous line laid down on the Ordnance map as the boundary of the counties of Dumbarton and Stirling—a line which probably corresponds pretty closely to the course of the Falloch before Loch Lomond existed. The hollows are divided one from another, not by steep scarps, but by undulations so gentle that when the contour of the bottom is drawn to a true scale, they are hardly appreciable by the naked eye.* The shallows and deeps, when the geology of the neigh­ bourhood comes to be examined in detail, will probably be found to correspond respectively with the outcrops of harder and softer bands of the upturned Silurian strata, which strike across the lake from south-west to north-east, and they may also be supposed to depend in some degree on the varying width of the preglacial valley. It is not, however, my intention at present to recapitulate the evidence on which Loch Lomond is claimed as an example of a glacier-formed lake, but merely to make such a sketch of the physical geography of the district as will render intelligible the peculiarities of the deposits to be described. It has already been observed, that when the ice-sheet was at its. thickest it overflowed the Menteith, Campsie, and Kil­ patrick Hills, and this is attested by the glacial striae and the " carry " of the drift. But, as Mr. Dugald Bell has pointed out,f there were periods when the attenuated ice-sheet was divided by the minor hill-ranges that opposed its course, and was forced to round them and to stream through the valleys intersecting them from west to east. This view, I may say, is amply supported by the strise mapped by myself in carrying on the Geological Survey^ the high grounds being crossed by striations from * See Mr. J. Geikie's Great Ice Age.

When the ice had degenerated from a continuous "nappe" bearing down (in this district) from the N.N.W. to a series of separate glaciers streaming from west to east over the low passes of the Campsie Hills, the erosion of a new set of lakes would be begun nearly at right angles to the older set, and this erosion would be much facilitated by the circumstance that the courses of the protruding tongues of the shrinking ice-sheet would lie mainly among Sandstones of Lower Old Red and Lower Carboniferous age, much softer than the Silurian rocks enclosing Loch Lomond in its upper part. Theoretically, we should look for lakes in localities where the ice-streams or glaciers would be subjected to strangulation from the narrowing of their respective beds, and accordingly we find broad alluvial flats in several such situations, which it requires no great stretch of imagination to regard as silted-up lake basins, viz. :—in the Endrick-Blane Yalley, the one above referred to as flanking the lower "reaches of the Endrick, and which is merely a prolongation of Loch Lomond ; in the Blane Yalley proper, the one extending from the confluence of the river with the Endrick to Duntreath Castle; and in the Endrick Yalley, the one stretching from Newtown of Fintry to the Gonachan. In the case of the Dun­ treath Castle basin, the cause of " strangulation" is obviously to be found in the hard trap escarpments and magnificent volcanic "necks" overlooking Strathblane. The sudden contraction of the Endrick Yalley at its issue from between the fine trap escarpments at Fintry could not fail to increase the intensity of the erosion on the site of the Gonachan basin. It is not impos­ sible that the rock-basin of Loch Lomond may be continuous from the mouth of the Endrick up the Blane Yalley to Duntreath Castle, as the rock is nowhere seen in the bottom of the valley, and the lower part of the valley is flanked by deep drift deposits, which may conceal a broad rock-basin. It is, however, probable that a gentle rise of the Sandstone bottom about Catter Burn- foot, divides this corner of the rock-basin (which, had the country beyond offered a level bed for the passage of the ice, would naturally have terminated the loch), from the depression higher up the valley, due to the strangulation of the glacier. The elevation (20 feet) of Loch Lomond above the sea is so Downloaded from http://trngl.lyellcollection.org/ at Carleton University Library on June 14, 2015 8 TRANSACTIONS OP THE GEOLOGICAL SOC. OP GLASGOW. trifling that there is no difficulty in classing it with the sea lochs which indent the western coast of Scotland. All these sea lochs are shallow at their outlets, and would become fresh-water lakes, like Loch Lomond, on a very slight elevation of the land. In fact, it may be regarded as in a manner an accident that Loch Lomond is not now an arm of the sea. A depression of 20 feet, or the removal of the superficial deposits traversed by its short out­ let, the Leven, would restore it to its former condition. In the course of my work on the Geological Survey to the south of the eastern angle of the Loch, and its silted-up continu­ ation above referred to, it fell to my lot to map out a deposit whose relation to the already known members of the glacial series seemed to deserve particular attention. The deposit is a true typical Till, in every respect analogous to the Old Boulder Clay or Till of the Lowlands of Scotland. In a matrix of stiff unstratified clay, brown in colour, like the subja­ cent Old Bed Sandstone rock, are scattered stones of varying sizes up to several feet in diameter. These are blunted, smoothed, and marked with striations in all directions, but most frequently in the direction of their longer axes. The Till under­ goes local variations, but on the whole may be described as above. It presents, however, one remarkable peculiarity to dis­ tinguish it from the common Till of the country. It contains worn and broken fragments of marine shells. I shall now describe briefly the various exposures of the Till which have come under my observation. I am indebted to Mr. Robert Etheridge, Jun., F.G.S., Acting Palaeontologist to the Geological Survey of Scotland, for naming some of the shells mentioned in this paper, and for many valuable notes. Messrs. J. Bennie and A. Macconochie also obliged me by washing a quantity of the Till for minute organisms.

  • NBG Report for KCC Meeting 21 Feb 2018 There Have Few Visible
    NBG Report for KCC Meeting 21 Feb 2018 There have few visible changes in connectivity over the last month. The status of the cabinets in the various villages also remains unchanged but on the same plan as last month. Detail from last month’s Broadband Delivery Group meeting is below. For Killearn, the connectivity of premises and the status of the 2 possible further cabinets is unchanged from last month. The locations remain unknown. Premises within G63 9LA, G63 9NP, G63 9PD, G63 9PT, G63 9QG, G63 9QN, G63 9QT, G63 9QY, G63 9RQ & G63 9SQ are shown as Accepting Orders, subject to line length as to whether the service will actually be available. In Balfron no premises appear to have had upgraded connections in the past month. Balmaha premises are again unchanged this month. In Blanefield/Strathblane no premises appear to have had upgraded connections in the past month but some postcodes are now showing that the both the first cabinets (G63 9BY and G63 9JW) need to be expanded. In Buchlyvie, there are no changes this month although almost all premises are now connected. Some are acknowledged as having slower speeds than desirable. Drymen premises have not changed status this month. Croftamie premises also appear unchanged. Properties on the G63 0NH postcode, covering parts of Gartness and Balfron Station and connected to the Drymen exchange appear to be Accepting Orders although they are on very long lines and are in a future plan to use FTTP technology to deliver faster speeds. Some premises on the A811 towards Gartocharn from the A809 junction near Drymen are now showing as Accepting Orders, although some of these are on long lines and so will probably not actually get the service.

  • Model Scheme for the Establishment of Community Councils in Scotland
    MODEL SCHEME FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF COMMUNITY COUNCILS IN SCOTLAND 1. Introduction Community Councils were first established in Scotland following the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973. Thereafter, the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act, 1994, which produced the current system of unitary local authorities, made provision for the continuation of community councils. Under the legislation, every local community in Scotland is entitled to petition their local authority to establish a community council in their area. The Model Scheme for Community Councils in Scotland is designed to enable the establishment of community councils across Scotland and to provide a common minimum basic framework governing their creation and operation. 2. Statutory Purposes The statutory purposes of the community councils established under the Model Scheme are set out in Section 51 (2) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, as follows: - ‘’In addition to any other purpose which a community council may pursue, the general purpose of a community council shall be to ascertain, co-ordinate and express to the local authorities for its area, and to public authorities, the views of the community which it represents, in relation to matters for which those authorities are responsible, and to take such action in the interests of that community as appears to it to be expedient and practicable’’ 3. The Role and Responsibilities of Community Councils The general purpose of community councils is to act as a voice for their local area. This will involve them articulating the views and concerns of local people in their area on a wide range of issues of public concern and make representations to their local authority, other public sector bodies and private agencies on matters within their sphere of interest.

  • Early History, Chapter 1 (PDF)
    FROM THE WOLVES TO THE WEAVERS From the Wolves to the Weavers A tapestry of dense forest sweeps down from the volcanic fells to the south before sloping up towards the high ground of the Ibert, the place of sacrifice, where the men of the village have assembled. Ritual incantations are pierced by the frightened screams of children in the clearing in the woods below, sending the villagers scampering towards the cluster of dwellings which is their home. A scene of savage devastation meets them and the eerie silence is broken only by the ominous, satisfied howl of the wolves which have taken the village‟s children. Balfron from the Ibert (courtesy of St.Andrew‟s University Library) Of the various claims as to how Balfron was named, the story of “bail‟-a- bhroin”, the village of mourning, is probably the least credible and yet it is the accepted origin. “Town of the meeting streams” and “Town of the 1 FROM THE WOLVES TO THE WEAVERS drizzling rain”1 may be more plausible to the geographer or historian, but it is the wolf which was until the early 1990s emblazoned, incongruously enough, on the High School uniform and it is the wolf which is used by the organizations such as the Women‟s Rural Institute to symbolise their village. The simple reason why this should be the case is that, being handed down by word of mouth, it made the best story. More disquieting explanations for the acceptance of the tragic tale of the disappearing children appear in both the 13th and 17th century, as we shall discover later in this chapter.

The new policy will see residents given 5 recycling boxes under the following collection timetable: 2 Week Collection: Brown Bin (Garden & Food Waste); Blue Bin (Plastic, Cans & Cartons); 4 Week Collection: Grey Bin (Non-Recyclables); Green Bin (Paper & Cardboard); Blue Bin Small (Glass) The service are keen to work with residents and CCs on this. For example with people living in flats sharing of bins will be a preference which should cut down on the number of bins. The service are also planning on running collections on a 7 day week basis – what time will this be – early Sunday mornings may not be appropriate. The service will be investing in new, rear loading collection vehicles which are easier to operate. It is important that residents and CCs make their views felt as I understand the revised service is due to be ‘live’ by September 2016. Update: At a meeting on Monday 19th Sept the only rural village that appeared to have the new bins was Doune?

  • Introduction Consultation by Strathblane CC
    Mark Laird, Planning Officer Stirling Council 7 August 2017 – via email [email protected] Dear Mr Laird 17/00434/PPP Land 160 Metres South Of Broadgate House, Campsie Road, Strathblane Strathblane Community Council provides its response to Gladman’s application for Planning Permission in Principle for a substantial residential development on Campsie Road, Strathblane, and the moving of the existing green belt boundary and currently designated cemetery to a location further east. Introduction Having consulted widely both in the pre-application stage and now in response to this application, the community council is clear that the overwhelming majority of the community are against Gladman’s proposals, or any housing development on the site. We note that the proposal is contrary to the Local Development Plan (both the current and the “Proposed” version), and we note that it is opposed by several statutory consultees. Of special concern is the applicant’s disregard for the Green Belt designation, which was been examined and confirmed in 2009 and reaffirmed in every iteration of the Local Development Plan process. We have studied the applicant’s submissions and supporting evidence in detail, and find it unconvincing. The evidence provided seems flawed and/or fails to support the conclusions presented in the Design Statement. Some relevant points are selected for discussion below. Consultation by Strathblane CC Extensive publicity and consultation was organised in response to Gladman’s pre-application consultation. Our response to the pre-application consultation is attached as Appendix 1. In response to the planning application 17/00434/PPP, an online and paper survey was organised, in conjunction with two drop-in meetings and a special meeting of the community council.

    NBG Report for KCC Meeting 19 Apr 2017 Further progress! The new fibre cabinet at the Killearn exchange is now live, accepting orders, and some residents have already got the service installed and working. Speeds are reported to be as expected at 30Mbps or more. So if you live in “The Trees”, nearby, or in the centre of the village, you should be able to get “super-fast broadband! About 50% of postcodes in the village are now connected to one of the fibre cabinets. Status of your individual connectivity can be checked on either of the WhereandWhen pages of the BT Openreach or Digital Scotland websites or in the tables at the end of this report. This site is also showing a download of the exchange roll-out list, but as this is only at exchange level, it doesn’t help very much. NOTE: Remember the Digital Scotland “Better Broadband Scheme” provides a subsidy to establish a better connection using either satellite or wireless for those currently getting download speeds of less than 2Mbps. See the KCC website for specific links. Balfron has also got more cabinets with 85% of the village now showing as “Accepting Orders”. Strathblane/Blanefield is in a similar position with slightly over 85% of the village covered. Buchlyvie has nearly 90% showing as connected while Croftamie/Drymen is showing nearly 60% Accepting Orders. All this does have to be qualified though as many premises are on long lines, and whilst they will see a significant benefit in speed (double or better), they will not achieve “super-fast” speeds.
