The Devon by Dollar
Dollar Glen
Sat 20 September 2008
 |
A special walking tour which follows the River Devon, running as part of Clackmannanshire Walking Festival. More>
The last song Burns ever wrote, ‘Fairest maid
on Devon banks’, celebrates the River Devon
and its winding journey from its source high in
the Ochil Hills down through narrow ravines, forestry and farmland, to meet the Forth and flow on to the sea.
The Devon has influenced the course of the area’s history – in the 18th and 19th centuries, the river’s water powered the textile mills and mill towns developed along the Devon valley.
Please bring outdoor clothing and footwear with ankle support and a good grip.
Dates:
Saturday 20 September 2008
Times:
Meet at Castle Campbell at 2pm.
