Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Glenkillock

Glenkillock, a wooded ravine in Abbey and Neilston parishes, Renfrewshire, intersecting the Fereneze Hills, and taking down Killock Burn east-south-eastward to Levern Water nearly opposite Neilston village. It contains three waterfalls, respectively 12,12, and 20 feet in leap, and all so beautiful as to have been pronounced perfect miniatures of the three falls of Clyde. Both glen and burn have been sung by Tannahill and other poets.—Ord. Sur. sh. 30,22, 1866-65.
