The strise are generally horizontal, hut occasionally are inclined 
slightly upwards towards the east. 
A few small boulders, well rounded, occur in several of the 
gorges. Among them,, granites a,nd conglomerates were observed. 
Craigforth Hill, about 2 miles west of Stirling, has smoothings on 
its rocks near the top (198 feet above sea), and a few striae running 
in a N. W. and S.E. direction. The Convener found on it also small 
boulders, apparently from, rocks situated at or near Aberfoyle, which 
bears W. J N. from Craigforth. 
On or near the Racecourse at Stirling (situated S.W. from the 
Castle), about ISO. to IGO feet above the sea, there are several 
granite boulders lying on smootked sandstone rocks. The largest is 
7x3x4 feet. It is on a rocky knoll, the smoothest part of which 
slopes down towards K.bT.W. As the boulder, from its composition, 
most probably came from the hills situated to the N.W., it must 
have lodged on what would be. the lee side of the knoll. 
7. Aberfoyle. — Arndrum HiU, reaching to height of 454 feet above 
sea, forms part of the ridge of Conglomerate rock, which traverses 
country in a N.E. and S.W. direction by Callander and Loch Lomond. 
On this ridge Professor. Heddle, at a height of 230 feet, found a line 
of six boulders of angular gneiss, stretching N. and S. They are 
from 2 to 20 feet apart, aiid are from three-quarters to 3 cubic 
yards in size. 
To the west of this line, four other similar boulders lay along the 
summit of the ridge, and thus at right angles to the first line 
{Ninth Report, p. IG).

Golspie. — An Old Eed Sandstone borilder, 16 x 10 x 4 feet, about 
248 feet above sea, lying on oolitic rocks, — subangular, — with longer 
axis N.I7.W. Three smaller boulders of Old Eed Sandstone lie 
about 100 yards to S.E. The Old Eed Sandstone formation is 
situated to N. and W., about 3 miles from those boulders {First 
Report, p. 51). 
Eev. Mr Joass, of Golspie, refers to a large boulder of gneiss, 
weighing about 120 tons, called “ Clach Mhie Mhios" Clach being
