Topography.
The £\ 3s. 4d. land of Gairbraid, for the 16s. 8d. land seems to
have been split off again, although at what date or to whom it was
conveyed I have not ascertained, is shown on the map or plan
accompanying the manuscript of these notices. The boundaries —
except those of the portion on the south which marches with
Garioch, and on the west stretching from the burn at Maryhill
Barracks northwards to the Helensburgh Railway, on the left bank
of the River Kelvin, for the distance of about a mile and a quarter,
— are somewhat irregular and difficult of description ; as depicted
on the above-mentioned map they are taken from the feuing
plan of the estate in the hands of the agents of the present pro-
prietors. The 1 6s. 8d. land as indicated in the said map lay on the
