In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Fruin like this:
Fruin Water, W. Dumbartonshire; rises 2 miles NE. of head of Gare Loch, and flows SE. through Glen Fruin to Loch Lomond 2¼ miles NW. of Balloch pier; the bloody clan conflict of Glenfruin, between the Macgregors and the Colquhouns, was fought Feb. 1603.
Fruin is now part of ARGYLL AND BUTE Council. Click here for graphs and data of how ARGYLL AND BUTE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Fruin itself, go to Statistics.
