A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
Ness Glen, a ravine in Dalmellington parish, Ayrshire, traversed by the river Doon from Loch Doon to near Dalmellington town. It is one of the finest examples in Britain of a true rock gorge, the stream having worn down a channel little more than its own width, with perpendicular sides, into the rock to a depth of from 100 to 200 feet. The heights along the sides are beautifully wooded, and a walk formed alongside the river leads through the hollow.
