OS 6" map (1913/46)
'The little hill where the gallant Graham encamped the night before the engagement, (Battle of Kilsyth - Stirl 29 NW 1) is somewhat remarkable. The tents have been raised with sod, and it is easy at this day to distinguish the place where they stood, and the form and size of each'.
