Some of the mist that had filled the Leven and Clyde valleys earlier in the morning lingered here. The name Croft Huggan is applied to this area of woodland on large-scale mapping. Roy's Military Survey of Scotland (mid-eighteenth century) makes the origin of the name clear: there used to be a farm called Crofthoggan nearby.
