Glen Finglas

From the 1450s, laws protected the forest area and restricted the rights of tenants on surrounding lands to encourage deer for the hunt.

[1] A flat mound called "Tom Buidhe" (the yellow knoll) near the Glen Finglas Reservoir is thought to be the site of the Hunt Hall, first built for James II of Scotland in the 1400s.

Edmondstone was to identify offenders, confiscating their livestock and dogs (hounds and raches), and send their names to the king for trial and punishment.

[9] The pursemaster John Tennent hired men and horses from Dunblane to bring their beds from Stirling, while Malcolm Gourlay brought tents from Edinburgh.

[11] The Scottish novelist and poet Sir Walter Scott (1771–1832) wrote the poem "Glenfinlas; or Lord Ronald's Coronach" in 1803.
