Descriptive Gazetteer Entry for Coilantogle

Coilantogle, a ford on the river Teith in Callander parish, Perthshire, immediately below the river's efflux from Loch Vennachar, 2½ miles WSW of Callander town. It was ` Clan Alpine's outmost guard, ' the place where Roderick Dhu stands vantageless before Fitz-James, in the Lady of the Lake; but it has lost its romance by the erection of a huge sluice of the Glasgow waterworks.
