Calder, North, a small river partly of Stirling and Linlithgow shires, but chiefly of Lanarkshire. It issues from Black Loch on the mutual border of New Monkland parish, Lanarkshire, and Slamannan parish, Stirlingshire; winds 2¼ miles SW along the boundary between Lanarkshire on the right and Stirling and Linlithgow shires on the left; turns then wholly into Lanarkshire; expands soon into Hillend Reservoir (1¼ x 5/8 mile); and running 13 miles WSW along the boundary between New Monkland and Old Monkland parishes on the right, and Shotts and Bothwell parishes on the left, falls into the Clyde at Daldowie, 1½ mile NW of Uddingstone. Its banks, over nearly the whole of its romantic course of about 16 miles, are bold, picturesque, and beautifully wooded; and are adorned, in several places, with splendid parks or mansions. Its waters contain trout.—Ord. Sur., sh. 31,1867.
