Clachan Oak, Balfron
According to tradition, it was here where William Wallace rested and Rob Roy hid. With a girth of some 16ft, the ancient hollow trunk has, in days gone by, been reinforced with 3 strong iron bands. In past centuries, criminals were placed in neck-irons and chained to the tree. When struck by lightning in the 19th century, the Clachan Oak was then believed to be over 300 years old.
