Fin Glen, a glen in the W of Campsie parish, Stirlingshire, traversed by a burn which, rising in the S of Killearn parish, on the NE shoulder of Earl's Seat (1894 feet), runs 4¾ miles south-south-eastward, till, near Campsie Glen station, it unites with the Pow and Kirkton Burns to form the Glazert. Though somewhat less picturesque than Kirkton Glen, Fin Glen has a larger volume of water and two very beautiful waterfalls; whilst, like Kirkton Glen, it presents features of gorge, crag, and wood somewhat similar to those of the Trossachs.Ord. Sur., sh. 31, 1866.
