Summary edit
| Description |
English: The Black Linn Reservoir The photograph was taken from the trig point on Doughnot Hill (which appears as "Douennet hil" on the Pont/Blaeu map of the Lennox, surveyed in the 1580s-90s). The reservoir was built in the late nineteenth century; it is shown on the 1:10560 OS map of 1899, but not on the equivalent map from 1864.
According to the booklet "Off the Main Road" (I.M.M.MacPhail, 1976), it was "the oldest Dumbarton reservoir, constructed in 1874-75". The same work notes that Doughnot (see above) was formerly pronounced "Deochnay". The Black Linn, the waterfall that gave the reservoir its name, is shown on the 1864 map, and is located only a short distance from the western side of the reservoir; see https://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/805 for photographs of the falls. |
