Campsie Parish, Stirlingshire, Scotland



 


Notes:
Campsie parish lies nine miles from Glasgow; it is about six miles square, and contains 620 houses, and 2906 inhabitants, viz. 1387 males, and 1519 females; of whom 707 were returned as being employed in agriculture, and 983 in trade and manufacture. The parish consists of two extensive ridges of hills, with a valley running between them; the northern ridge, called Campsie Fells, appears to be of volcanic origin; in many parts are rude basaltic pillars, particularly on the road, which slopes down the hill above the village: the highest part of this ridge is twelve hundred feet from its base, and about three hundred feet above the level of the sea. There is coal, lime-stone, and clay-marl here in great abundance, and some beautiful Scotch pebbles have occasionally been found.



The village consists of the Old and New Town, and there has been within these few years some very extensive print-fields for linens, &c. established here.
