Scope and Content Rig cultivation, Glen Finglas The area of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park contains a rich variety of archaeological sites and historic landscapes, which continue to have a major impact on the environment today. Low winter sunlight highlights the corrugations of rig cultivation around a modern farm in Glen Finglas. These were the fields of a township abandoned in the 19th century, whose buildings now lie beneath the waters of a reservoir. The clearance of many highland townships for sheep farming and deer stalking in the 18th and 19th centuries has had the accidental effect of ensuring the preservation of the remains of many of those townships and their associated field-systems.
