Geocache Description:

We are excited to place our very first cache and be a part of the Post Code Cache series and place it in our home patch.

This part of Lenzie is High Gallowhill - so named for it's high position where people were taken up the hill to the gallows.

Very easy cache, so the challenge in this is STEALTH. No ropes required for this one though, just twist and twist, remember to bring a pencil.

 


Well done to karenskie7209 for FTF!

A bit about Lenzie...Modern Lenzie developed after 1842 with the opening of the Glasgow to Edinburgh Railway and the building of a station at Garngaber to serve Kirkintilloch. Glasgow commuters then began building houses around the station urged on by the railway company which in the 1850s offered free season tickets to anyone building large villas close to its stations. When in the 1870s piped water became available there was a mini housing boom in Lenzie resulting in much of the Victorian village as well as all three main churches: Lenzie Union, Lenzie Old Parish and St Cyprian's.



The History of Lenzie
Lenzie's real history starts a lot earlier. Some of the earliest records of this area tell us the lands of Lenzie were owned by the Comyn family, who built a castle in Kirkintilloch on the site of a former Roman fort in what is now the Peel Park. At that time the name was written Lengze or Lenneth and later Lingie.

The original Lingie was a parish extending from Kirkintilloch to Cumbernauld bounded on the North by the River Kelvin, on the south by the waters of the Logie Water and its tributaries and on the West by the Park Burn. The original parish church (St.Ninian's) was located at Oxgang where there now stands a tower known as the 'Auld Aisle' at the entrance to the graveyard. However, in 1644 a new parish church was built in Kirkintilloch (now the Auld Kirk Museum) and the parish split into Easter Lenzie (Cumbernauld Parish) and Wester Lenzie. When Wester Lenzie became the Kirkintilloch Parish, the name of Lenzie was all but lost.
