Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Glaudhall

Glaudhall, an estate, with a mansion, in Cadder parish, Lanarkshire, 1 mile NE of Garnkirk station. Glazert, a rivulet of Campsie parish, Stirlingshire. Formed by the confluence of Pow, Finglen, and Kirkton Burns, near Campsie Glen station, it thence runs 4 ½ miles south-eastward past Lennoxtown and Milton, till it falls into the Kelvin opposite Kirkintilloch. It traverses, over much of its course, a rocky channel fretted by the floods of ages; receives no fewer than sixteen little affluents; and affords such abundant waterpower as to have been a main cause, along with the plenteousness of coal, why manufactures have taken root and flourished in Campsie.—Ord. Sur., shs. 30, 31, 1866-67.
