A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
Black Hill, a hill in Crawfordjohn parish, Lanarkshire, 2 miles WNW of Abington. It rises 1260 feet above sea-level, and commands a fine view down the Clyde. Two concentric artificial circles are traceable on it, the inner one 34 yards in diameter, the outer one 58; and they seem to have been a military station.
