Notes: | This is a large map, encompassing a substantial portion of the Midland Valley of Scotland. In the west the area is bounded by Loch Lomond, the Firth of Clyde, and the River Clyde, with Glasgow itself depicted. In the north, there is little information north of a line from Stirling in the east to Loch Lomond in the west.
