About Campsie Fells and surrounding area

The Campsie Fells are a range of hills in central Scotland, stretching east to west, from south Stirling to Dumgoyne in East Dunbartonshire. The highest point in the range is Earls Seat which is 578 m (1897 feet) high. The range overlooks the villages of Strathblane and Blanefield to the South, Killearn to the West and Fintry to the North.

Erosion along the line of a geological fault known as the Campsie Fault has left tiers of rock representing some 30 lava flows which date from the Carboniferous period.

The headwaters of the River Kelvin, which flows through the west end of Glasgow, rise in the Campsie Fells, as do those of the rivers Carron and Endrick.

This group is aimed at celebrating this wonderful area just north of Glasgow, collecting together pictures taken in and around the Campsie Fells.

Please invite other people and pictures to the group.
