Entering Jamestown
John Neill's 1912 book "Records and Reminiscences of Bonhill Parish" offers, on page 43, an explanation for the name Jamestown. I cannot vouch for its correctness, but it is worth quoting here, for interest:
"In 1773 a schoolhouse was erected at Dam of Balloch, now called Jamestown, from the fact that three feuars whose individual Christian name was James, had each built a house there."

A skimmer in the River Leven
The stone structure shown at the centre of the photograph is more visible than usual after a period of dry weather, which had lowered the Leven's level. It is a "skimmer", directing some of the flow of the river into a lade. In this case, the lade served Dalmonach Print Works (for which, see Image).
For other examples on the River Leven, see Image and Image

Leaf galls on nettle
These are caused by the gall midge species Dasineura urticae. They are pale green to purple, and have a slit-shaped opening (usually on the upper surface; see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/992628 for an example). When the photo was taken, this gall was very common on the nettles growing alongside the cycle route between Renton and Balloch.
For another common gall on nettles that is caused by a fungus rather than an insect, see: Image

Water-crowfoot in the River Leven
(Ranunculus sp.)
The level of the river was low, making it easier to approach the plants, and causing the long stems to trail horizontally. The common name Water-crowfoot does not apply to just one species, but to several different ones that are superficially alike.
