Excerpt from Glasgow Rivers and Streams: Their Legend and Lore

I have endeavoured to suggest the historic and literary charm which clings to these storied streams. They are charged with splendid pictorial possibilities, and much antiquarian lore and folk memory still linger on their banks. I sincerely hope that as these pilgrimages interested me, they may also prove interesting to other wayfarers in this the land we love the most.

Several of the chapters were published in the Glasgow Evening Times, and for permission to repro duce these I am indebted to the proprietors of that newspaper. I have added much to the material, carefully sifting the facts, and conscientiously verify ing the references. My debt to Scottish writers in general and Glasgow authors in particular is a large one. I trust it is fully acknowledged in the foot notes.
