Bargally, at the head of a most lovely narrow valley, between hills and mountains whose sides are covered with wood, is not only interesting from its natural beauty, but from the accident of its having been the residence, a hundred years ago, of Sir Robert Heron, one of the greatest botanists of his country and time. He planted many rare trees, of which some fine specimens still remain, and which we shall here-after describe. In the suburbs of Paisley there are some villas laid out in imitation of the newest taste; but which are liable to all the objections which we have stated in preceding articles. Who-ever knows these villas, and will look at fig. 72. Vol. VII. p. 401., will understand what we mean. [Editor's Note:(2005) Bargally is now partly within Kirroughtree Forest, replanted by the Forestry Commission under the supervision of James Leonides Hogg]
