6. Stirling and Doune districts. — Conglomerate boulders occur at 
the following localities {Sixth Report, p. 31) : — 
(1) At Kilbride, boulder of about 900 tons (mentioned under 
Perthshire). 
(2) On Landrick Estate, boulder of about 360 tons. 
(3) At Keltie Bridge, boulder weighing about 60 tons. 
(4) On Gartincaber, boulder weighing about 16 tons. 
(5) On North side of River Teith, boulder weighing about 13 tons. 
(6) In the Burn of Campsie, two boulders each weighing about 13 
and 24 tons. 
(7) In the district traversed by the hill road between Doune and 
Callander, multitudes of smaller size. 
(8) At Cornton Brickwork (between Stirling and Bridge of Allan), 
small boulder found in bed of clay. 
(9) On the rocks adjoining Stirling Castle on the north, small 
Conglomerate boulders, besides others of gneiss and greywacke. 
(10) At Loch Coulter and' Gillies Hill (places 3 miles south of 
Stirling), several Conglomerate boulders, besides others of mica slate 
and felspar porphyry. 
(11) On Plean Estate (4 miles S.E. of Stirling), boulders of Con- 
glomerate, gneiss, granite, greywacke, and whinstone. 
(12) At Glenbervie, near Torwood (5- miles S.S.E. of Stirling), a 
Conglomerate boulder, 6 feet square, found by Convener. 
(13) On Dunmore Estate (9 miles S.E. of Stirling), a Conglomerate 
boulder of about 10 tons, found by Convener. 
A more particular account of the foregoing boulders may be 
found in “ The Estuary of the Forth," p. 41, where it will be seen, 
that all those which are elongated in shape, generally have their 
longer axis in a direction N.W. and S.E. 
There can be no doubt that all these boulders had been carried 
from hills situated to the H.W., near Callander and Aberfoyle, 
as there are rocks there of the kind composing the boulders, and in 
no nearer district. 
On the north side of Stirling Castle the trap rocks are traversed 
by narrow gorges, running about E. and W., the sides of which in 
many places present smoothings and striae, especially on the south 
sides, indicating transport from a point a little to the north of west.
