| OLD KILPATRICK [Parish] (Continued) | [continued from page 1] One half or rather more of the area of the parish from the northern boundary downwards is occupied by the Kilpatrick hills or Braes. The parish is remarkable for the number of its Villages, and the extent of its manufactures, existing in the absence of anything which can with propriety be called a town, & are richly provided with facilities of communication. All the smaller steamers which ply on the Clyde are at their service offering conveyance every hour of the day. The Forth & Clyde Canal passes thro' [through] the parish terminating at Bowling Harbour. The Glasgow, Dumbarton & Helensburgh Railway passes through the parish from East to West. The line of the Roman Wall is traceable as far West as Sandyford near Old Kilpatrick. There were two stations on the wall in this Parish at Chapel Hill & Duntocher no traces of that at Chapel Hill exist. There are no detached portions in this parish, nor is there any portion of any other parish contained within the boundary of this parish. |
