Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Glanderston Dam On 30th of December 1842 Glanderston Dam, created for local industry, burst its embankment in the midst of a wild storm. It sent a flood tide through the meadow of Glanderston House to South Arthurlie Printworks and Nether Arthurlie village drowning 9 people and causing mass destruction.
One survivor, Mr James Gilmour, had as a boy been sleeping with his brother in their cottage attic. They were saved by their father who wildly cut away for them through the roof with an axe. Years later Mr Gilmour, a builder, was to demolish the old cottage and found the axe marked joists. |
