Clachan of Campsie Tours

Description

Campsie Glen has been popular with day trippers for over 200 years now. Before that access was impossible, because the Glen was on private land. Towards the end of 18C, however, on a point of principle, the local landowner John McFarlan of Ballencleroch opened up part of the glen for the recreation of local workpeople. It soon became well known and well-visited. Throughout 19C and well into 20C, large numbers of organised trips descended upon the Glen by road and rail. The old St Machan's Graveyard?features gravestones of special interest.
