The phrase ‘the new school, although architecturally a piece of sheer brilliance’ is exceptionally subjective and has no place in a non-biased article. It has been removed.
Should this not also apply to the comment on the management? Is the detail on the state of the building current? Youth groups - reference to Fire Cadets removed as they have been disbanded. No Christian youth group operates at the moment. 217.43.144.88 ( talk) 23:01, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
The removal of the following seems extreme:
Modern historians believe that an attack by Vikings was more likely, as they did steal children. Haakon’s Saga and Exchequer Rolls of the time give evidence of a Norse invasion as far as Stirling Castle through the Endrick Valley in 1263 – the same year as the Battle of Largs.
This is a valid reference to an alternative version. It would be more appropriate, surely, to ask for a relevant source? Shipsview ( talk) 16:32, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Excellent comment by Brianann. I came to this talk page all ready to harumph only to find that someone had got there before me! This is a typical case of Gaelic myopia and arrogance. Balfron is within the original vice-royalty of the Lennox where Brythonic was spoken really up 1100. So the original name is clearly "Welsh" and means what Brianann says. The fact that it has since been corrupted by Gaels who were completely uncaring of the meaning is a secondary matter. There is a similar problem with Balquhidder which retained its original Pictish pronunciation into the 1500s and spelling at least as far as the Ragman Roll. Strictly speaking it could mean "the house made of wood" (cf Welsh "pont bren"), but given the existence of the oak tree which was already old in 1300, it is more likely to mean "the house by the oak tree".
