This article appears in Volume V15, Page 798 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KILSYTH , a police
burgh
  of Stirlingshire, Scotland, on the Kelvin, 13 in. N.N.E. of Glasgow by the North British railway, and close to the Forth and Clyde canal. Pop. (1901), 7292. The principal buildings are the town and public halls, and the academy. The
chief
  industries are coal-mining and iron-works; there are also manufactures of
paper
  and
cotton
 , besides quarrying of whinstone and sandstone. There are considerable remains of the
Wall
  of Antoninus south of the town, and to the north the ruins of the old castle. Kilsyth
dates
  from the middle of the 17th century and became a
burgh
  of barony in 1826. It was the scene of Montrose's defeat of the
Covenanters
  on the 15th of August 1645. The town was the centre of remarkable religious revivals in 1742-3 and 1839, the latter conducted by William Chalmers Burns (1815-1868), the missionary to China.
