Gartness is a hamlet in Stirling, Scotland. It is located 1.8 miles/2.9 km from Killearn and 3.1 miles/5 km from Drymen. Most pupils attend Killearn Primary School and senior pupils attend Balfron High School. The Endrick Water passes through the hamlet. [2]
In 1572, John Napier had an estate at Gartness with his second wife, Agnes Chisholm. [3]
The name derives from the Scottish Gaelic Gart an Easa, which means "enclosed field by the stream". [4]
Whilst the hamlet has no facilities, there is an honesty shop serving walkers on the famous West Highland Way, and Drymen Camping, a campsite along the road towards Drymen, also directly on the trail.
