Background

History

On the steep, south face of the hill is an old quarry that once supplied blue-grey dolerite for the traditional buildings of Aberfoyle. About a kilometre north of the summit are Aberfoyle Quarries, disused slate quarries that were used to supply roofing material for the railways and for much of central Scotland. The route of the old tramway, which transported men and material from the quarries to the local branch line, is still discernible.
