Information About

Campsie Fells




The Campsie Fells are a range of Hills in central Scotland , stretching east to west, from south Stirling to 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 .
