The policies contain many fine trees, but none of very large 
size. The following are some of the measurements taken :— 
(1) Great Maple (Acer Psewdo-platanus) known as “ Cromwell’s

many large specimens of Polyporus squamosus) ; girth 14 ft. 
8 in. at 3 ft. 8 in. on east side. 
(2) Great Maple, east of mansion-house; girth 11 ft. 2 in. at 3

(3) Beech (Fagus sylvatica) in close proximity to last-mentioned 
tree; girth 11 ft. 104 in. at 5 ft. 6 in on north-west side. 
(4) Beech at side of approach, and east of mansion-house; girth 
11 ft. 7 in. at 5 ft. 3 in. on east side.

BuarrguHosH, 7th October, 1893.—This excursion was attended 
by a numerous party, including several members of the West of 
Scotland Ramblers’ Aliiance. Proceeding by rail to Milngavie, 
and thence by road, the route lay past the print-works and across 
Clober Moor. Having reached the road to Carbeth-Guthrie, the 
party then proceeded past Craigallion to Carbeth Farm. From 
this point, a disused country road was followed to Arklehaven, 
where the moor was entered for the purpose of visiting the standing 
stones of Dungoyach. 
The group consists of five stones arranged in a row, each about 
six feet apart. Four of them are composed of West-Highland 
_ grit, and the fifth of a chocolate-coloured sandstone. They 
commemorate the Battle of Mocetauc (the ancient name of 
Mugdock), which was fought ee a the Picts and the Angles 
about 1,000 years ago. 
Skirting the shoulder of the Hill of Dungoyach, and passing the 
farm-steading of that name, the party crossed the Blane Valley 
Railway and emerged on the road from Glasgow to Aberfoyle at
