I have posted a new short item about Fossachie and Parkhead, two former farm-sites on the shoulders of Dumyat, on the genealogy page today.
This is the sort of material which I have, sitting on file and which can so vividly illuminate the lives of local people in the past 500 years or so. Who lived at this site, how did they live, why was it abandoned?
It is ironic that it goes up on the same day as I blog about the threat to adjacent Menstrie Glen due to proposals to plant extensive Sitka Spruce and other trees in this wonderful space.
