PREFACE.

7.

In issning the seventh edition of the Helensburgh Direc- tory, the publishers, remembering the kind apprecia- tion it received when published by the late Mr Battrum, trust that it will meet with a similar reception.

Although imperfect in many respects, considerabie care has been expended in its compiling. It is now larger than anj^ previous issue, and the publishers doubt not it will be found useful as a book of reference in this daily increasing district.

The map this year has been improved, showing the new feus, houses, and streets that have been made ; and, altogether, every effort has been made to render tbe Directory worthy of the town and neighbourhood.

HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

The earliest notice of a public kind concerning Helensburgh appears in an extinct newspaper, called the Glasgow Journal^ under date 11th January, 1776, in the form of an advertise- ment, and runs thus : —

** Notice. — To be fued immediately, for building upon, at a very reasonable rate, a considerable piece of ground upon the shore of Malig, opposite Greenock. The land lies on both sides of the road leading from Dumbarton to the Kirk of Row. The ground will be regularly laid out for houses and gardens, to be built according to a plan, &c. There is a freestone quarry on tbe ground.

"For the accommodation of the feuars, the proprietor is to encloaa a large field for grazing their milk cows, &c.

"N.B. — Bonnet-makers, stocking, linen, and woollen weavers, will meet with proper encouragement. There is a large boat building at the place for ferrying men and horses with chaises."

The idea of founding a town on these shores suggested itself to the great-grandfather of the present Sir James Colquhoun of Luss, who purchased the land of Malig or Milrigs from Sir John Shaw of Greenock, and in further- ance of this design, laid it out in prospective streets, and advertised it to the public. The town itself, as appears from the advertisement, was nameless for some years. A very old form of the name of the barony was Muleig, with which the local pronunciation accords, and the infant town was

recognised under tliat patronymic, or tlie more unmeaning one of tlie New Town, till the course of events brought a change. Probably its name was a matter of considerable family discussion, till at last some ingenious friend solved the difficulty by happily suggesting it should be called after the lady of its new owner, "Helensburgh." A more noble and permanent memorial of that distinguished lady could hardly have been devised than this happy suggestion gave birth to.

Notwithstanding the tempting advertisement above quoted it seems to have made slow progress for many a year. In 1794, we find from an old rental-book, that there were only about seventeen houses built on the lands, and the gross feu-duty paid to the superior amounted to only .£8 16s. 8d. Of the few houses then built, only one or two now stand.*

Helensburgh was created a free burgh of barony by royal charter, dated 28th July, 1802. Under this charter, the government of the burgh is committed to a provost, two bailies, and four councillors, and weekly markets and four

* The following seem to have been the first adventurous f euars, and the rates of feu-duty paid by them. What a contrast it affords be- twixt the value of land half a century since and its price now ! We have heard it said, that the whole shore ground from the pier to the east boundary of the town was offered at a perpetual rent of £1 to the ancestor of one of the Malig feuars, and refused as too serious a speculation.

annual fairs are appointed. In a community of seventeen houseliolders, one naturally thinks that considerable in- genuity must have been exercised at times to find a staff of seven such officials to govern the other ten, and we conse- quently find among the old records repeated instances of householders fined for failure to accept the honour conferred on them by their townsmen. As in some degree throwing a measure of light on the past history of this burgh, v/e give a few extracts from the older official records. There is not much amusement to be gleaned from them, but they may afford insight into the inner life of an infant town, and thus prove of some interest to the curious in such matters : —

EXTRACTS moM RECOEDS of the TOWN COUNCIL of HELENSBURGH.

By-Laws.

Helensburgh, WihNov., 1807. Marhets and Fairs. — The Magistrates and Town Council convened, ** agreed that the annual markets of Helensburgh should be published in the newspapers and handbills ; and likewise inserted in the alman- ack, and also the following articles concerning the same — viz., all cattle coming and entering the market for sale, shall pay the follow- ing dues: — For each cow or horse a penny ; sixpence for each score of sheep ; a sixpence for each sow ; and if sold to pay the above same rates when returning from the market. And we likewise further agree, that the two town officers are authorised to uplift the same at their proper stations, and to be paid only ojBf the funds for so doing. "

officers npon Saturday the 16th of February, to attend divine service at the Rq-w Church, upon Sunday the 17th of February ; but upon John Campbell's disobeying our orders thereanent, it is agreed by the Council, that the said John Campbell be decerned in the fine of one pound sterling for misbehaving in such a manner, and likewise liable to pay the above fine for every Sabbath and fast day lawfully or- dained he absents himself without a lawful excuse.

Court days — Absence of Magistrates.

At Helensburgh, the third day of July eighteen hundred and nine years, — Convened the Magistrates and Town Council of Helensburgh, and have taken into our consideration the following articles: — 1st, We have mutually agreed that our first court will be held upon Tuesday the 10th current, at the New Theatre, and five o'clock in the after- noon, and regularly, afterwards, the first Tuesday of every month ; 2d, We have likewise agreed that, after the Provost is regularly warned by the officer to any of the courts and not attends, that he will be liable to a fine of ten shillings sterling, unless a regular notice be given to the Council beforehand as impossible to attend ; the Bailie, as above, a fine of five shillings, and councillors half-a-crown.

(Signed) Henry Bell.

John Moody. WILLLA.M Michael.

Helensburgh, IQth March, 1810. (A long minute, in which it is ordained that an assessment of one penny per pound of the valued yearly rent be exacted annually from each proprietor, till the town is by this means supplied with water. )

Non-attendance of Burgesses at Public Meetings.

Wih September, 1811. — It is moved and unanimously voted that, when intimation was given to the feuars by the bell, through the streets of the Burgh, to attend any meeting of the Magistrates and Council, any magistrate, councillor, or feuar, who shall fail to attend, shall forfeit and pay the sum of two shillings and sixpence sterling of a fine for each failure, without a reasonable excuse, to be levied by legal measures if not paid.

Declinature of Office by a Bailie.

^th December, 1812. — A meeting of the feuars called by the bell. — Bailie Jardine stated to the meeting, that Mr. John Gray, the other bailie named at last election, had been called on to signify his accept- ance of the office, when he refused to do so; and as he had hitherto failed to attend any of the meetings, he considered it proper to call the meeting to consider what should be done in this matter, &c.

HELENSBURGH GUIDE. 13

The meeting considering the propriety of keeping up the Magis- tracy, declared that Mr Gray had forfeited his office of Bailie and the fine annexed to his refusal, and they therefore proceeded to elect a new Bailie in his stead, &c.

Members of the Council to sit in one seat in the Church.

The meeting, by a majority, fix that all the Bailies and Councillors who shall go to the Row Church, shall at all times sit in the seat appropriated for them, and failing any of them so sitting in church, he shall forfeit a shilling for each offence, to be levied by the treasurer for behoof of the common good of the burgh.

Court Terms.

The meeting consider it is sufficient to have a court once every quarter, and therefore, they fix that in time coming, a court shall be held on the first Saturday of every quarter ; reserving, however, to call occasional courts, if necessity requires, oftener.

John M'Auslane and John Napier fined for declining office.

Wth September, 1813. — Mr John M'Auslane paid five shillings for declining to be a Councillor, after election ; and Mr Thomas Napier paid ten shillings for declining the office of Bailie, after election. These two fines paid to the treasurer.

Gratuity to Officer.

12th September^ 1815. — It was moved and agreed to, that each feuar shall annually pay one shilling to the officer ; and that, in respect of that allowance, the officer to be elected shall be obliged to do all the business relating pertaining to the town, warn to. and attend all meetings, &c. The said sum to be levied by the officer himself, — the officer to be continued during pleasure.

Fines for declining Office.

llth September, 1823. — James Colquhoun paid ten shillings, as a fine for refusing to accept the office of a Bailie. Anlay Lennox paid ten shillings also for declining the same office. Robert Leuchars and William Lennox each paid five shillings for declining to accept the office of Councillors.

Customs for Fairs let for Five Shillings.

6th November, 1821. — The custom-s for the fairs were let for fir« ehiUings to Kobert McNeil, highest bidder.

But more prosperous days were dawning on Helensburgh. With the introduction of steam navigation, it began rapidly to increase in size and population. As the residence of Henry Bell, and scene of many of his labours, it is inti- mately linked with the history of steam traffic. Tn 1812, the little Comet, built by Wood and Company, of Port- Glasgow, was stationed on the Clyde by Henry Bell, and made her first trip to Helensburgh safely, notwithstanding the dismal prophecies and doubts even of its well-wishers, at a speed of about five miles an hour against a head wind. Fame and fortune ought to have flowed to its enterprising proprietor. Fame did flow to him; fortune only in the shape of an ugly stone obelisk. From the date of steam communication with Glasgow, Helensburgh grew rapidly in importance. It presented an easily accessible and pleasant summer retreat for Glasgow merchants and their families, and a pleasant residence for those retired from business. The lands were admirably adapted for feuing, lying in a gentle slope upwards from the Firth of Clyde ; and in the old feuing plan wide streets were laid ofi" at right angles with each other. With the exception of the front street, where most of the shops were kept, the houses were built detached, and surrounded by lawn and shrubbery, and con- siderable emulation prevailed regarding the neatness of the houses and the cultivation of the gardens. This uniform

HELENSBURGH GUIDE. IS

plan it is to be regretted, was afterwards departed from, and in consequence some of the best feuing lots were compara- tively spoiled for want of proper access.

In 1846 a Police Act was obtained, under which the affairs of the town are now managed. The governing offi- cials were increased in number, and the powers conferred on them enlarged, so as to enable them to carry out modern ideas of improvement and order. Almost simultaneously with this Police Act, gas was introduced into the burgh. The streets formerly were badly kept and ill-drained, and not lighted at all. They are now, after nearly twenty years' indefatigable effort on the part of the corporation, nearly all in good condition, and though not so well lighted by any means as they ought to be, and might be, they are better than most of country towns.

One great drawback to the prosperity of the place for many years was the want of a good harbour. The original plan of the town included a harbour. A provision of £1500 was made by Government towards its formation, on condi- tion of an equal sum being raised in the locality ; but as the sum on the subscription list, though it reached £1100, never attained to £1500, the matter was allowed to drop. This was before the era of steam navigation, and long before col- lecting money in aid of any useful object was reduced to a science. The pier, originally a stone dyke, for landing and embarking passengers from steamers, by small boats, was lengthened and increased by degrees. It was under the management of a committee of subscribers till 1834, when a piece of ground to the south-east of the pier was, through the enterprise and liberality of Provost Smith, purchased from a Mr Henry Taylor for the Helensburgh Town Coun- cil. In order to turn this acquisition to account, Provost

16 HELENSBURGH GUIDE,

Smitli and the Committee of Management of tlie Pier first resolved to erect a bazaar, or market-place, on it ; but this plan was superseded by Sir James Colqulioun making a grant to the Council of all the vacant ground eastward to the granary, on condition of the whole being kept clear for future improvement of the pier and accommodation of pas- sengers. As the original subscribers to the pier had no right of property in it, they transferred their management to the Town Council, in hope of an improved and enlarged harbour being erected. This has never been obtained; but a tolerable pier now supersedes the old stone dyke at which steamboat passengers used to land; the want of a harbour is, however, now less likely to be felt since direct railway communication with Glasgow has been opened up. Since the opening of the railway in 1857, a great impulse has been given to building in the neighbourhood, and the size of the place has almost doubled, as well as the value of pro- perty increased. The population in 1851 was, according to the census then taken, 2895; in 1861, it was 4769, and and has since that time rapidly increased. Probably now it reaches to 6000. During the past two or three years the pro- gress of building has, notwithstanding a continual demand for houses, very much decreased. Various causes have contri- buted to this, but chiefly amongst them were, we think, the want of regular water supply, and the limited number of walks and drives in the neighbourhood available to invalids. These operated very seriously in the way of speculators, at least, erecting houses for sale, and were a continual source of grumbling and discontent; but a water supply has now been introduced by the Town Council, under the provisions of the General Police Act. On the Mains-Hill, above the town, a large reservoir has been constructed for storage of various

HELENSBURGH GUIDE. 17

springs and small streams, and from whence it is distributed through the town. In March, 1868, the works were for- mally opened by the lady of Provost Breingan, and since then there has been an ample supply. Of the permanence of the supply, it is, perhaps, yet premature to speak, but in point of quality, it bids fair to equal that of any town, and it is to be hoped the measure will prove what it is undoubtedly designed to be — a permanent blessing to the community.

"Under the old charter, the bounds of the burgh extended from the Glenan Burn to the old Luss road at Drumfork on the east, and about as far northward as the present line of King Street. The marches of the barony passes on the south — in fact, formed the northern boundary; but the precise line is now somewhat difficult of definition, partly from the fact of the boundary stones having been removed, and the discontinuance of the old custom of perambulating the marches. This was observed annually by the magis- trates and council in official character, accompanied by a crowd of boys, who, at each march-stone, hedge, or dike, re- ceived such an allowance of corporal chastisement, adminis- tered by the town-officers, as was deemed necessary to impress the recollection of the boundary line on the memory of the rising generation. The practice was said to have been most efficacious in securing a clear and decided recollection of the old landmarks. In obtaining the Act of Parliament, .these old boundaries were very wisely extended. It now reaches from the East Toll, on the one side, to Ardencaple wood on the other, a distance of nearly a mile, and runs back from the sea rather more than a quarter of a mile, — thus covering a very considerable area. The general aspect of Helensburgh from the water in front is that of a long, straggling white town, with a screen of hill and wood be-

18 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

yond. Owing to the gradual slope of the ground, a great portion of the town is not visible from the water, those of the upper and lower parts of the town, with a few of the principal buildings, alone standing out prominently to view. The two best points for obtaining a favourable view are from the rising ground on the Dumbarton road, near Lyles- ton, and the point below Hoseneath Castle. From the first of these the scene that opens to the eye on a clear day is like one of fairyland. Each house and building in Helens- burgh stands out clearly defined on a gently rising upland, and in their midst the tall spires of the churches pointing heavenward, glisten in the sunlight. On the west, hemming in the town, is the leafy barrier of Ardencaple woods, and beyond the long promontory of Row stretches seemingly across the deep blue waters of the loch, in whose depths are mirrored the white sails of the boats and surrounding hills. Still beyond rise like an impassable barrier, the bold ridges of " Argyle's Bowling Green," ever varying in their trans- formations as cloud or sunshine, or soft vapoury mist, rests on their furrowed brows and hoary peaks. The eye never wearies of the scene; for, though scarcely twice does it pre- sent the same aspect, that aspect is always beautiful, and the beautiful in nature and art alike stir the diviner nature within us without satiating desire or wearying the feasting eye. Day by day, and hour by hour, as you gaze on it, a fuller, fresher sense of its glorious beauty showers upon you, filling the heart with an inexpressible poetry of beauty, that dwells in the memory for ever. A better point of view for a painter or a sketcher, however, is Roseneath. There an almost equally good view of the town is obtainable, and the ranee of scenerv behind and on either side is more limited. The range of hills stretching across from Drumfork to Glen-

HELENSBURGH GUIDE. 19

fruin, beautifully wooded in part, and softened down by distance into harmony with the rest of the scene, with the lazy clouds lingering about the highest points, as if loath to leave the scene, form an appropriate background to the pic- ture ; while the long, irregular sweep of the bay in the fore- ground, nowhere else so well seen, gives a fitting unity to the whole view, — a view, the remembrance of which will not pass away readily, but will, in future years " Enter unawares upon the mind, With all its beauteous imagery. ''

The general plan of Helensburgh, as we have already said, is a good one, and, if fully carried out, cannot fail to render it, so far as available means are concerned, both an attractive and healthy place of residence. It is built, as we have men- tioned on ground rising with an easy ascent from the sea; and for fully a mile back this gradual elevation continues. It possesses, therefore, great facilities for thorough drainage, and for the maintenance of every necessary sanitary regula- tion. The town is laid ofi" in rectangular squares, each of these containing about two acres of ground. There are abundance of wide open streets, securing a larger space of breathing ground than is found in most modern towns ; and there is little danger of overcrowding the buildings, for, except in the two principal streets, Clyde and Princes Streets, the number of houses on each acre is restricted to at most four, and in many cases to two. The houses, save in these two streets, are chiefly in the cottage order, offering every variety of design and size of construction, though of late years taste has run more in erection of mansions of a large and handsome appearance, equal if not superior in many cases to the best country seats. To each house is attached a considerable piece of garden ground. These gardens are

20 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

generally tastefully laid off in flowers and shrubbery ; and as a degree of emulation prevails in the cultivation of flowers, this leads to the exhibition of considerable neatness in the aspect of these gardens ; and in the summer mornings the atmosphere is at times so laden with sweet perfumes, arising like incense from them, that you almost realise what dwelling in a land of spices means. Owing to its southern exposure, and comparative immunity from cold winds and sharp frosts, flowers attain great beauty and perfection, and many varie- ties of plants, found elsewhere thriving only under shelter, grow freely here in the open air.

Attractive as it is, it might have been made much more so with the means at command of the corporation and inhabit- ants. The prevailing error which seems to rule at Scotch watering-places has done something to mar the beauty and destroy the attractiveness of Helensburgh as a popular resort. The idea all along has been to conform it in appear- ance as much as possible to a commercial town, which it never will be. All bits of attractive scenery have been carefully removed ; the streets have been levelled with most judicious care ; the streams bridged over and covered out of sight, and the square and park are utterly divested of any ornament whatever. "Well macadamised road, and plenty of it, is no doubt a great boon — indeed, so is plenty of roadway, whether well or ill kept ; but the great fact so thoroughly kept in view in Continental and English watering-places, that the prosperity of the place depends more on its attractiveness than on its purely useful features, has been very much ignored here. The idea in practice has been, — rout the visitor or inhabitant out of every cover; keep him to acres of bare street; give him no shelter, no pleasant wooded haunt; let the noonday sun bask and beat on him ; provide him

HELENSBURGH GUIDE. 21

with a park instead of a shade ; let there be no cooling foun- tain refreshing to the sense anywhere ; and if, overpowered by heat and dust, and anxiously longing for a plunge in the clear inviting waters of the bay, the visitors should seek this solace, keep him back from, it by denying him every facility for such a pleasure. This is precisely the result of the erroneous Scotch theory regarding the character of a water- ing-place. With such an acreage of broad street, which can at best be but indifferently kept, what was to prevent part of it being planted with rows of tall trees, with sufficient seats near them, which would have formed a pleasant summer haunt to invalids and loungers; beneath whose shade children could play in safety, and the pent-up stranger, avoiding the glare and the heat of the dusty road, have ob=> tained refreshing shelter and recreation 1 What was to prevent the erection of a few fountains here and there in public places, where the thirsty might drink, and at least the dull monotony of road and square be enlivened and made picturesque]* What was to prevent the adorning of the public park with some kind of shade, which would tempt stragglers, loiterers, and readers into its precincts? What was to prevent the providing of bathing accommodation, such as abounds at almost every other sea-coast village of any note 1 What is to prevent all this being done now? Nothing but a wholly mistaken idea of what a watering-place should be, and of what is necessary to secure its permanent popu- larity, by securing the comfort and adding to the out-door recreations and pleasures of those who frequent it. These are matters, however, which are beginning to impress them-

* This want is now being removed by the erection of public wella in various places supplied by the Mains-Hill water.

selves more fully on the minds of those interested in our burgh, and which we hope, ere many years have passed, to see accomplished, and Helensburgh the first in attractiveness, as it is first in situation, of all Scottish watering-places.

Of late years the rapidly-increasing population has efiected a change in the character of the property in the front street — most of the old buildings have been taken down, and re- placed by handsome modern erections fitted up for shops. Of these there are almost every variety, some of them equal to those in the first towns in the kingdom, and in which an abundant supply of every article essential to comfort and luxury can be procured. There are no buildings of any antiquity to interest the visitors. The almost only public buildings are the churches and banks. The first in order amongst the churches is

THE ESTABLISHED CHUECH.

It stands pleasantly situated close by the sea-shore, and is one of the first objects which greets the visitor's eye approach- ing the town by the water. It is a neat substantial build- ing, but its front view is completely obscured by an enormous granary, rising in the bloom of its native ugliness, directly opposite. The church was built in 1847, at an expense of about .£2700, and was then intended as a chapel of ease to the parish church at Row. It was afterwards considerably enlarged and is now seated for 800. In July 1862, by a decree of the Court of Teinds, it was erected into a parish church, and Helensburgh attached as a parish quoad sacra. The boundaries of the parish extend on the east to Cardross parish, on the west to Ardencaple, and on the north to the northern boundaries of the farms of Kirkmichael, Stuck, Mallig, Glenan, Easterton and Woodend. The expense of

HELENSBUEGH GUIDE. 23

the endowment was defrayed principally by the munificent bequest of tlie late James Hntcbeson, Esq., long a member of the congregation, amounting to £2500, to which Sir James Colquhoun generously added X300, and the remainder was made up by grant from the General Assembly's Endow- ment Fund.

The Rev. John Lindsay, the present pastor, was ordained to the charge in 1847.

There is a flourishing school under the superintendance of Mr. John Eraser, in connection with the church.

WEST ESTABLISHED CHURCH.

A new station in connection with the Established Church was opened about a year ago in William Street. The con- gregation met for sometime in a large room used for photo- graphic purposes by Mr. William Young. There has now been erected in that street a neat iron chapel, capable of holding about 300 people, in which the congregation meet. The Rev. John Baird has filled the charge since its com- mencement.

THE WEST FREE CHURCH,

A very handsome building with a graceful spire, in Colqu- houn Square, erected from plans furnished by D. Hay, Esq., of Liverpool, 1852. Formerly a square plain erection stood here, built in 1827 by the Original Seceders of whom the Rev. John Anderson was minister. The Rev. John Ander- son and his congregation, shortly prior to the Disruption, joined the Establishment, and at the Disruption left it. They secured the church building, and for many years it was the only Free Church in Helensburgh. Mr. Anderson, dis-

24 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

tinguished both as a preacher and author continued minister of this church till 1863, when, in consequence of failing health, a colleague, the Rev. Alex. Anderson of Markinch, was appointed to the charge, and since the death of the E,ev. John Anderson in 18G7, has continued sole minister of the church, which is a large and increasing one.

There are schools in connexion with the church under the superintendence of Mr. Sutherland.

PAPvK FREE CHURCH.

The accommodation for the adherents of the Free Church being found much too limited, a new congregation was formed in 1862, and this church erected. It is also in the Gothic style of architecture. The plans were prepared by- John Honeyman, Esq., Glasgow, and the mason work exe- cuted by Mr. James M'Kinnon of Helensburgh. In many respects it is the finest building of the kind in Helensburgh? both as regards beauty of structure and comfort. The Rev. Mr. Carslaw is pastor.

THE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. This Christian denomination in 1842 opened a preaching station here, in the Town Hall, and in 1845 erected a place of worship in King Street, now used as a public hall, which was seated for about 450. The Rev. Alexander MacEwan, now of Claremont Church, Glasgow, was ordained minister of it in 1845, and continued in the charge till 1856, when the present pastor, the Rev. David Duff, was ordained. The place of worship being found too small, the one now occupied by them was built and opened in 1861. It occu- pies a very prominent position on the rising ground, and forms one of the most attractive features to the landscape.

It was built by Mr. James M'Kinnon after plans furnished by "William Spence, Esq., architect, Glasgow, and cost up- wards of £5000.

THE CONGREGATIONAL CHAPEL.

This body erected the first place of worship in Helens- burgh. A square building, popularly known as the "Taber- nacle," was erected by them, nearly on the site of the present chapel, in 1802, and remained for probably twenty years the only chapel in the place. The first minister of the congregation was the Eev. Mr. Syme, succeeded in 1809 by the Rev. John Edwards, afterwards by the Rev. Mr. Boag, and in 1824 the Rev. John Arthur, was ordained to the charge. In 1858, the Rev. James Troup, since resigned, was chosen colleague with Mr. Arthur. Mr. Troup after- wards removed to Lerwick, and the Rev. Mr. Arthur, having from advanced years, retired, the Rev. Wm. Milne was ordained in 1866. The original chapel was abandoned in 1850, and the present one, a neat building but for an appar- ently disproportioned height of roof, erected nearly on its site, in James Street. The first Sabbath schools in the dis- trict were commenced in connexion with this church.

ST. MICHAEL AND ALL ANGELS' EPISCOPAL

CHURCH.

The Episcopal congregation was founded in Helensburgh in 1814. In 1842, a church was built and dedicated to the Holy Trinity. It was a small, plain edifice and was origi- nally intended to accommodate the Episcopalians of Dum- barton as well as Helensburgh ; but there is now an Episcopal church at the former place. In 1851, a school-

B

house was built in connexion witli it, and in 1857, a parson- age. The erection of these was owing chiefly to the exertions of the then Incumbent, the Rev. John Bell, who took a very active part in promoting the means of education in the district.

The present Incumbent, the Rev. J. Stuart Syme, suc- ceeded to the charge in 1862, and Trinity Church having become too small for the wants of the congregation, it was in 1866 pulled down, and the present handsome structure of St. Michael and All Angels erected on its site. This new church is in the early French style and internally very striking in its design. It was formally opened and conse- crated on 7th May, 1868. The architect is R. Anderson, Esq., Edinburgh, and the builder, Mr. James M'Kinnon, Helensburgh.

BAPTIST MEETING HOUSE.

There is also a Baptist meeting-house in King Street, where a church, formerly under the pastoral care of the late Mr. Robert Dickie, meets. This congregation has existed for many years.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPEL.

This religious persuasion has also a chapel in Maitland Street. As yet, there is no stated priest in charge. It is supplied from Dumbarton and Glasgow by various priests.

BANKS.

It speaks well for the economical habits of the population, that the first bank in Helensburgh was a savings bank. It was promoted, about 1827, by Mr. James Smith of Jor-

HELENSBURGH GUIDE. 27

danhill, the late Mr. Richard Kidston, and others, and managed gratuitously and successfully for many years by Mr. Peter M'Callura, draper. About 1841, a branch of the "Western Bank of Scotland was opened, — first under the management of Mr. Alexander Campbell of Roseneath, then of Mr. John Robson, and afterwards of Mr. Robert D. Orr, who continued in it till the suspension of that establishment. In 1857, the Clydesdale Banking Company opened the premises held by the "Western Bank, with the enterprising agent of the closed establishment, Mr. Orr, as their manager, and shortly afterwards they built the handsome offices now possessed by them in James Street.

In 1856, the Union Bank of Scotland opened a branch under the management of their present agent, Mr William Drysdale, long the esteemed provost of the burgh ; and in 1861 they opened their present elegant and commodious establishment in Colquhoun Square.

In 1867, the Bank of Scotland opened a branch in Clyde Street, under the management of Provost Breingan.

There is but one other public building, the Town Hall, where the corporation meets, and the courts are held; but it presents no claim to architectural exterior or internal con- venience. It has been long a standing joke, till, " As ugly as the Town Hall," has almost turned into a proverb. It was originally a theatre ; appears to have been built early in the present century, and in the palmy days of the drama, was well supported and liberally patronised by the surround- ing country gentry. But the stage has long been darkened ; the curtain has fallen for ever. A wall has been run up

dividing tlie proscenium from the remaining part of the house. The whilome pit and boxes now form the body of the Court Hall, where the audience listen to the practical effusions of town-councillors instead of the eloquence of Shakespeare ; and the gallery is devoted to rats and spare lumber. Behind the scenes were lately retailed grocery goods ; now, telegraphic messages are despatched thence to the ends of the earth ; while the ground floor, sacred of old to descending and ascending ghosts, and the tomb of Thes- pian brigands and murderers, is transformed into police cells. Truly a change has passed over all 1 It is gratifying, how- ever, to learn that there is a speedy prospect of a new Town Hall being erected on an eligible site, and which will supply a growing want for a place of meeting and other purposes connected with the Burgh.

The Baths, now Queen's Hotel, a large square castellated building, occupies an imposing site fronting the sea at the east end of the burgh. It is of importance as one of the landmarks of the late Henry Bell's labours here.

The educational wants of the community have not been neglected, any more than their religious wants. There are. institutions and academies adapted to every class of society, and some of them of the highest character.

Amongst other objects worth a visit to Helensburgh, is the Cemetery. Helensburgh being only a quoad sacra parish of recent date, no provision was made in connexion with the church for a burying-ground, and till recently the only place of interment was at Bow, a distance of rather more than two miles. But as, independently of the distance, the parish burying-ground was inconveniently small and dis- gracefully kept, and such a memorial of apathy and indiff- ence of the heritors and kirk-session, it was resolved, some

HELENSBURGH GUIDE. 29

ten years since, to erect a cemetery at the east extremity of Helensburgh. The ground has been tastefully laid off and enclosed ; a superintendent's house has been built within it, and such rules and regulations adopted, as will secure ita future maintenance and good preservation. A considerable part of the ground is devoted to raising nursery plants and flowers, which form an interesting feature to visitors; and the thorough order and neatness in which the whole is kept, reflect the highest credit on the superintiendent. Already one end of the ground is occupied by many very hand- some tombstones, some of them the work of Mossman, and placed with regard to position and order. The locality of the cemetery is good, and the soil of a light, gravelly nature, and drained to a great depth. The only drawback is the inconvenient approach to it. A continuation of the present line of King Street would lead directly to it; but this street not being fully opened eastward, the access is by the Dum- barton Road, as far as Drumfork toll, and then up the old Luss road. The distance is thus nearly doubled. A little eff^ort would secure an excellent approach, and v/e hope that such an effort will soon be made.

The fine southern exposure, more than once alluded to, and the shelter which it enjoys from east winds, not only make Helensburgh a desirable summer residence, but plea- sant winter quarters. To invalids, it is offcen recommended by medical men of the highest authority, in preference to any place in the west of Scotland. Although not possessing many of the attractions of its distinguished English rivals, still there is no modern Scottish town that can nearly ap- proach to it.

There is no trade of any importance carried on in Helens- burgh ; it is almost entirely dependent on its visitors for

prosperity and increase. This migratory population not only creates a demand for every kind of necessary, but is the means of supplying the wants of a class of the popula- tion whose time is divided between boating and fishing. A number of the adult population are engaged in herring and deep-sea fishing for a considerable portion of the year; and another part derives a livelihood by attendance on the demands of pleasure and fishing parties during summer, fol- lowing other callings in winter. There is commonly a good supply of whiting, cod, flounders, and other sea-fish, on the coast, and any of the experienced boatmen can readily con- duct a pic-nic or piscatorial party to some favourite spot, where, at least, a modicum of success is obtainable. On a quiet summer's afternoon, the whole bay and loch seem studded with such small craft, in groups of half-a-dozen or more, at every haunt where fish are traditionally or actually found. Whether the success is at all commensurate with the numbers of sport-seekers, we cannot find any reliable means of determining, as anglers' statements of their prowess are proverbially to be received cum grana salis. There is also during the early months ol the year, some sea-trout fishing to be obtained by trolling in the loch, with sand-eel or partail. There are several pleasant strolls and carriage drives in the immediate vicinity of Helensburgh. The three prin- cipal roads lead — eastward, towards Dumbarton; west, to Gareloch; and north, to Luss. The scenery on each of these is varied in character, and they possess respectively points of interest drfiferent from each other. The west road leads wholly along the banks of the loch, and brings the tourist within view of many bits of admirable water scenery. It is full of windings, and the various little bays of the loch, and their background studded with villas, rising amongst

HELENSBURGH GUIDE. 31

the trees in terraces, and crowned with the hills, like Swiss villages, are favourite haunts of sketchers and painters in summer holidays. The east, on the other hand, after leav- ing Helensburgh, passes through a fine agricultural country. There are few houses, save farm homesteads, along the way; but the farms are in the highest state of good management, and the land generally well cultivated. The scenery is ir- regular ; tracts of rising land, stretching away back to the hills, belts of wood above these, and the bare hill tops, on the one hand ; and cornland sloping down to the river, strips of meadow along the river bank, the Clyde, and its opposite shores, on the other hand, make up the picture. The road to the north presents rather a steep ascent for the first mile or two; but after this is conquered, and the tourist fairly reaches the region of the heather, he will not regret his past labours. Turning round, you command a view of almost the whole Frith of Clyde, with parts of its lochs, and its numerous villages and towns; and beyond these rise the blue hills of Arran, sharply outlined against the sky. A few steps further on in front, bring you in view of Loch- lomond, in silvery repose, with its lovely islands and wooded heights, on the farther side of which the mountains of Stir- lingshire and Perthshire fill up the background. In addition to these short walks, there are various other places of interest in the neighbourhood worthy of a vi^it from the stranger, and which deserve more than a passing notice. Some of them are little known, save to the enthusiastic botanist or pedestrian. Others, memorable in history and tradition, we purpose at fuller length to notice; and our reward will be sufficient if we induce those who have hitherto found a diffi- culty in filling up a leisure hour, to explore these spots, and find interest and instruction in them.

THE HIGHLANDMAN'S ROAD.*

To amatory young gentlemen and ladies this walk pre- sents many attractions — even its drawbacks to ordinary pedestrians in the way of stiles and old dikes to be climbed, and dry passages to be selected, are attractive, as affording many charming opportunities of displaying gallantry and provoking discussion between the parties. Besides, it is comparatively little frequented, and the almost only in- truders on a delightful tete-a-tete are the roe-deer and rabbit, and they of course, communicate no secrets. It is a walk you may have almost all to yourself, and this exactly suits the temperament of the class alluded to, who are generally selfish enough to desire exclusive possession of the path. Nevertheless, it affords a pleasant stroll to any pedestrian who is above such a base consideration as spotless boots, and is willing to undergo a little fatigue for a large recom- pense of pleasure. Why it has been called the Highland- man's Road is not very easily determined, as it leads to no

* We are aware that the title of this sketch is somewhat a misnomer. It has been adopted rather in compliance with the popular phrase- ology, which has dubbed the road in question, ' ' The Highlandman's Road," than in strict fact. The Highlandman's Eoad, correctly speaking, led by a different route. When there was no road from Arrochar coastwise, by tochlong and Gareloch, the public thorough- fare passed along the mountain brows, passing Craganbreck, Tambui, (on the height above Finart, ) continuing along near the ridge from over Faslane by Ardencaple hill, and skirting along the sides of the hills till it reached Dumbarton. This was an ancient highway from the Highlands to the Lowlands, It was when returning home this route that the clan Gregor were attacked by the clan Colquhoun, in the sixteenth century, and the battle of Glenf ruin, afterwards alluded to, was fought. To any reader desirous of experimentally ascertain- ing what we have indicated, it will yield what is eagerly sought in more expensive and doubtful forms — a variety of new sensations ; only it must be tried with kilt and philabeg, as appropriate attire.

precise locality to wliich Highlanders could be supposed to Lave any good inducement to travel. The most plausible supposition is, that, as all highland roads were anciently constructed in as nearly a direct line as possible, and with a delio-htful disresrard to all minor inconveniences of bog;, brier, and stream, this one, from these circumstances, has fairly earned the designation. Passing through Woodend farm, at the west end of Helensburgh — where if you have any difficulty in striking the right path, information may be probably obtained by any respectable wayfarer — the pe- destrian finds a cart-road leading right up the hill for some distance and then losing itself in a distinct footpath. To this he keeps, as he best can, pursuing his course through a ratjier difficult country, broken and irregular in surface, for about a quarter of a mile further up the hill, and pretty close to the boundary of Ardencaple estates. Pausing and turning round when he has fairly reached the summit of the first elevation, he obtains a beautiful view of Helensburg'h, and the lands of Camiseskan, from a point which introduces many features quite new and different from any he has previously seen. Indeed, there is no point in the neigh- bourhood from which, in such beautiful panoramic detail, the eye can embrace the whole buildings, gardens, and streets of the village as the foreground, and stretching out beyond the fair pasture lands, woods, and hills of Cardross parish. If a botanist, the visitor will find here many beau- tiful specimens of mosses, ferns, and the common flora of our fields and woods, and may spend half a day in supply- ing his tin case with varieties not easily obtained else- where. In the spring months specimens of the lilac gentian, blue cuckoo flower, sweet woodruff", blue hyacinth, buttercup, heartsease, and primrose, are abundant; from the mossy

ground, later in the year, the orchis family ; and from the alder and birch-grown banks of the little streams flowing across the path, the wild rose, hawthorn, and sloe, breathe a sweet perfume on the summer air. At certain seasons, the old pasture here is a favourite morning resort of mush- room collectors, amateur and professional ; these eatables being found in considerable quantities near the old farm- house. A mushroom party, in early summer morn, has certain pleasant accompaniments of fresh and fragrant nature and woodland melodies no other can furnish. Here, on the right hand in a romantic little hazel dell, are the sources of the Glennan Burn — now considerably diminished in volume from what it used to be, by surface drainage and other causes unknown to us. In this dell, the sides of which are somewhat precipitous and difficult of descent sheltered from the winds, and, fringed in the yellow broom, and almost isolated by the bounding stream, is a beautiful patch of smooth greensword known as the Fairies' Ring — always green and always shel- tered from the storm — a little gem in a fair setting. Had you here wandered a century since, under the calm light of a glorious summer moon, bathing in its silver radiance the whole landscape, and had courage to examine its mysteries, what vision might have been enjoyed of the secrets of the fairy folk, and what wondrous music of fairy- land you might have heard ! Alas ! we have been born too late to enjoy these pleasures of a past and believing age : we can only envy those who have shared them. In this spot the good folk in our great-grandmothers' days enjoyed many a night of revel, and held high carnival on Beltane and Hallowe'en. Belated shepherds and benighted travellers have often listened to their weird-like music, stealing in measured unearthly strains down the glen; and more than

THE HIGHLANDMAN's ROAD. 35

one rasli spectator has witnessed a fairy festival on that green. But Jock Bateson, more than half a century since, saw the last of them here. Indeed, Jock has the credit or dishonour, whichever you will, of having banished them from this favourite spot. Coming across the hill one harvest night from the Chapel of Glen Fruin, and naturally anxious to avoid any beaten path or stray traveller, by reason of a small suspicious keg which he bore, strapped to his shoulders, Jock, after wading through a mile or two of heather, struck down by the Old Mains farm, right above there, and into the channel of the burn. Resting the keg against a rock for a little, to recruit his strength, and fortify himself for the remainder of the road, Jock was startled by the sound of * music, borne on the night breeze, mingled with the laughter and the echoes of tiny voices, proceeding from a spot not far distant. His first impulse was to leave his precious burden and run for it; but second thoughts are best, and after a short perplexing study of the question, Jock felt himself impelled by some ungovernable desire to ascertain who the musicians were. Again slinging the keg on his shoulders, with no small trepidation he crept cautiously along the banks of the streamlet, careful of every broken bough and loose stone in his way, and peering through the branches of the hazel as he went. Reaching this little dell, at a sudden angle, he found himself behind a large boulder, a witness of a scene bewildering and novel. In the beams of the bright autumn moon, resting in full radiance on the green ring, were scores of tiny men and women, some engaged in a fan- tastic dance, others, seated on the grass and on the branches of the broom and hazel, were playing a shrill unearthly melody, from pipes of reed and corn. Round and round in giddying circles the dancers flew, and tumbled over each

other in uncoutli gambols amid shouts of laughter. Sud- denly the music ceased, and a grim visaged little fellow, with a tall, peaked cap on his head, amid temporary silence, stepped forth to the spot where Jock stood, tremblingly feasting his bewildering eyes, and said "Welcome, Jock Bateson." Amazed at hearing his own name uttered in such tones, Jock, who was no coward, would willingly have retreated, but in an instant he was surrounded by a score of small people, who dragged him forth into the centre of the ring, and presented him to one taller and more important- looking than the rest, and who seemed to be leader of the band, from the deference which was shown to him. " Sit down, Jock Bateson," said their chief, " and let us know what you have got in your cask." Jock obeyed the order to sit, and muttered something about the cask containing a drop of ** small still brew." This information apparently being inadequate to convey the knowledge wanted, it was taken possession of forthwith and broached. A foxglove cup was filled with its contents and handed to Jock, who drank it off, to their united healths, with a mental observation that " the gude folks' measure was unco sma'." In succession the whole group quaffed from the same miniature goblet, amidst much laughing and gesticulation; and the keg, its owner feared, was sadly diminishing. The consequences of this imprudence, however, soon became apparent in the scene of excitement which followed. All order and rule was lost, and amid a confusion indescribable, Jock was led through a series of dances by a succession of partners, to a music un- paralleled in the annals of fairyland till cockcrow, when suddenly Jock heard a rushing sound through the air, and was conscious of nothing more till the burning sun of the following morn, beating on his face, awakened him — sick and

THE HIGHLANDMAN'S ROAD. 37

bruised — to a dim recollection of his whereabouts. Casting bis eyes about, he saw his keg lying among the grass with its plug draA^al, and its contents escaped ; and, at a little distance, his cap and oak stick he remembered carrying over- night. Gathering himself together, with pain racking all his limbs, he made the best of his way home. It was some months later before he fairly recovered and told the story of his meeting with the fairies. Some few believed it, and many disbelieved it; but unbelief was a little shaken by the after history of Jock. He sunk into a drunken idler, spend- ing his days in the gratification of the basest habit man is a victim to, and unnerved for any steady application to his work, was reduced to abject poverty. His death was at- tended by some peculiar symptoms — so imusual, that an Edinburgh physician, who happened to be in the neighbour- hood at the time, thought proper to carry off Jock's brain with him for the benefit of medical science, and to the serious future injury of Jock, who, it seemed, did not rest qniet in his grave afterwards. For many years subsequently he was reported, upon the best authority, to wander up and down the burn, at full moon, howling and jibbering after his lost brains. After ascending about half a mile above the source of this stream, the foot-track diverges into a cart-road, which stretches along the hill-side towards Row. A long, deep belt of fir plantation clothes the hill on the right-hand side, but towards the Frith the view is open. From this road, Vv^hich the visitor has a beautiful uninterrupted view of Ardencaple Castle and policies — once the possession of The MAulay, a formidable chieftain, and invested with con- siderable authority, if the old rhyme be correct —

•* Aulay, M'Aulay, Laird of Caimdow, Bailie of Dumbarton, and Provost of the Row. "

38 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

The road winds along tlie side of tlie hill for about half a mile, till it reaches the Torr farm, a neat, comfortable house, in modern style, invisible from beneath, but well known in the surrounding district from the agricultural science and zeal of its tenant. Here the pedestrian may either strike down past the farm to the loch-side, or pursue his stroll farther westwards. The road continues to wind among the villas scattered on the hill- side, towards Eow, passing gar- dens, orchards, shrubberies, and many picturesque little cot- tages, clothed with woodbine and roses, till further progress is debarred by Ardenconnal policies, and a descent to the highway becomes necessary at last, whence the return home may be effected pleasantly by the sea-shore.

THE OLD ROAD.

Among the nooks and corners worth exploring is the old turnpike road to Luss, now disused and neglected, save as it suits the convenience of the farmer through whose lands it may pass. It was once partly a main line of communication between the Lowlands and the fastnesses of Perth, Stiiiing, and Inverness shires, extensively used in connection with the ferries to the opposite shores of Greenock and Port- Glasgow. It was made at the expense of the Duke of Argyll grandfather to the j)resent Duke, and in Helensburgh charter is termed "the Duke's road." His Grace is said to have been much displeased at the direction given to it by those interested, his desire being that it should have taken the direction of General Wade's road, that preceeded it. That road, after passing Daligan farmhouse, took the direc- tion of little Drumfad, passed Culshot, crossed the green-

THE OLD ROAD. 39

burn above the mill-dam, passed above Glennan farmhouse to the east bank above Glennan Burn, kept nearly along the burn till it crossed it to the west side, just "at the back of Mr. A. Oswald's villa, and passed through his grounds, in a direct line to the shore. ISTot many years since, an arched bridge of this road remained entire between Daligan and Little Drumfad. The Old Road, as we now know it, leada from the east boundary of the town through the farm of Kirkmichael. Near this at one time, stood the remains of a chapel dedicated to St. Michael, with certain monastic buildings. The chapel was in existence about the commence- ment of last century, and, from old parish records, seems to have been used as a place of worship. It is difficult now to trace its exact site ; the stones of which it was built have been oppropriated for boundary dikes and farm offices, and other base uses, to the regret of antiquary and archaeologists. Passing the farm steading, the road winds up hill over alter- nating ridge and hollow, between broom-clad banks, where the blue bell, meadow-sweet, primrose, and wild rose luxu- riate in rich mosaic of colour, and shed their fragrance on the summer air. And it will be strange if you do not pass, in some sheltered nook, a camp or two of wandering Arabs, the gray tent erected in the lee of an old dyke or bank, with the cart tilted against a tree, and the donkey grazing placidly at the hedge roots, and encounter a group of impudent children rushing, in their tattered picturesqueness towards you, imploring "backshish." This road has from time im- memorial, been a favourite haunt for these dwellers in tents. The little heaps of blackened stones and bits of charred wood dotting the roadsides, and mingled with scraps of tin and horn, show abundant vesteges of former encampments, and may in some future age be exhumed by antiquarians, and

theorised over as relics of some ancient race — workers of metal and bone. Who knows what volumes may be writ- ten to prove their existence, habits and customs ! Farther up the hill, the road is lined by a belt of wood, a famous place in former days and probably famous still, for nutting excursions in the autumn. Chumps of hazel abound among the more valuable forest trees, and yield, or used to yield, many a stock of nuts to the boys in Helensburgh against Hallowe'en. But the hazel does more than this ; for it also affords desirable shelter in the winter storms, and against the biting winds of spring to the cattle lying out on the hill and about its roots a picking of fresh grass can be found when the outlying fields are bare and withered. The view, as you reach the opening into the wood, is very exten- sive to the east and west commanding a long range of scenery on both sides of the Clyde.

Farther on, the road apparently intersects the remains of an ancient camp. A good deal of discussion has arisen whether these are traces of a Roman encampment or belong to more recent dates. No thorough investigation of the matter has ever been made. It certainly is not far from the line of the wall of Antoninus ; and as near Callendoon, about two miles distant, pieces of ancient armour, apparently of Roman origin, have been found, it is quite possible this may have been an outlying station.

After leaving the wood the road enters the moor, and is difficult to follow sometimes. The whole aspect of the scene changes. From the corn field and hay meadow you enter at once into a region of moor and peat. You seem to cross the threshold of civilisation, and are transported into a region which bears no impress of the hand of man, and un- disturbed by any noisy device or busy handiwork, spreads

its fresh, beauties before you in all the attraction of nature. Passing througb the moor for about a mile, the road diverges again, and joins the new Luss road, whence the route north- wards may be prosecuted, or the pedestrian can return thus homewards.

TO ROW.

Learned Gaelic commentators have long ago found out that the original name of this district was "Khue," or, Point of Land ; and failing any more plausible theory, we are will- ing to admit the corruption of the text. Parishes were anciently often named from the localities selected for the kirk. This appears to have been the case here.* The name

* It appears from ecclesiastical records that the kirk of Row was at first an ease, or subordinate, place of worship for local accommoda- tion, served by the minister of Roseneath. An act of General Assem- bly, of date 27th August 1639, empowered the Presbytery to take measures for settling both parishes of Roseneath and Cardross, with Ease. When the Presbytery began their proceedings, on 4th Feb. , 1640, the " kirk upon the Row of Connel" existed, and M'Aulay of Ardencaple required the ease to be there. At another meeting, held the same month, Mr. George Lindsay, minister of Roseneath, offered security to maintain a helper ; but Mr. Robert Walton, minister of Cardross, rather than that any part of his parish should be united ta Roseneath, made a large offer for building a church and maintaining a helper in Glenf ruin. There ensued a long and keen conflict between contending parties. The minister of Roseneath instead of being dis- burdened of the part of his charge east of Gareloch, was charged with having to preach every second Sabbath at the kirk of Row. At length (3d July 1643) the Lords Commissioners for the plantation of Kirks decreed the disjunction so long contended for. As much of Rosensath lying to the east of Kirkmichael was annexed to Cardross as was dis- joined from Cardross to be annexed to the kirk of Row. The part of Cardross taken to make up the new parish embraced the Bannachras, Glenfruin, and lands about Gareloch-head. The compensation re- ceived by Cardross, from Roseneath, lay between Kirkmichael and the present church. Till then, that church stood on Cardross Point, at the influx of the Leven with Clyde. Row continued to be without a settled ministry till the presbytery, on 27th September 1648, ap- pointed the admission of Mr. Archibald MacLeane, of Kingarth, aa its first minister.

of the locality was Row, or Rhue of Connel, applicable to the remarkable neck, or promontory, in the Gareloch, which then approached much nearer Roseneath than now. The insignificance of this title, however, affords no fair criterion by which to judge of the locality, any more than the name of a man affords of his qualities. Speaking of that part of the parish properly known as Row, and inclusive of its neck

of land, there are few more beautiful or more romantic places on the surface of the earth — few of the homes or haunts of men so favoured with the attractions of all that is lovely in nature. The road thence from Helensburgh is the most popular of all strolls in the neighbourhood, and well de-

serves the preference bestowed upon it. On a summer even- ing it is crowded with pedestrians, and on few days of the year, and at few hours, will you not meet with walkers of all classes. The road, once narrow, but lately considerably improved leads along the raargin of the Gareloch to the village of Row, a distance of about two miles from Helens- burgh. Immediately on passing Helensburgh, Arden- caple Castle and policies appear on the right hand side of the road. The castle is a building of some antiquity, and of some local historical interest. It stands on a rising knoll, defended by an array of stately trees, by whose leafy branches it is almost wholly concealed during summer. A cool shady avenue, where lofty trees abound, leads up to it, but there is nothing very imposing or architectually interesting in the building itself The more ancient part of it has been added to at various times, without due regard to the origi- nal design ; and were it not for the clustering ivy, which has

reaching, in some places to the very eaves, it would be rather a dull unsightly mass of rough stones and mortar. The in- terior, contrary to anticipation, almost corresponds with the (exterior in containing little or nothing of interest to the visitor. It lends nothing, but borrows much of its interest and picturesqueness from the situation it occupies, and the noble woods by which it is surrounded. Anciently Arden- caple belonged to the Faslane branch of the Lennox family, In the fourteenth century, it became the residence of The M'Aulay, a chief of some importance, and who, with his predecessors, occupy a somewhat conspicuous, though not

enviable position in the freebooting annals of the country. For about a couple of centuries this family possessed a very considerable influence, not only locally, but in the stormy annals of the Scottish nation. Theii* power, however, de- clined with the seventeenth century ; and about the middle of the eighteenth, they had parted with the last of their possession here.

here by William Kidston, Esq., J. P. Others will probably soon follow. A finer position for sea-coast villas than the range of fields adjacent to the shore presents, can scarcely be Well conceived. The amenity of the castle and its immediate policies would not be injured, nor their seclusion encroached upon to any perceptable extent were this strip of land laid out in houses and gardens. The policies are now guarded against all public intrusion by watchers, dogs and placards. The bosky dells and sylvan beauties, once accessible to the tourist need not be described, for caveat viator is inscribed at every pass, and echoed in English and Gaelic, by the surly tongue of a gamekeeper and gillie to any stranger who has the hardihood to enter the road leading through it.

A little beyond the castle, the road separates a point of land, known as Cairndow and "Neddy's Point," from the policies. This point is understood to be still in possession of the Argyll family. Here, from time immemorial, a ferry to the opposite castle of Roseneath has existed, and of very recent date an obnoxious toll-bar has been erected, the ad- vantages of which are not nearly so apparent as those of the ferry. The Cairndow Point embraces about half an acre of land rising to a considerable height above the level of the loch, and clad in some twenty straggling beech trees, whose shade in summer affords an agreeable lounge for travellers. Barring the toll-bar there are no houses now on the Point, though traces of foundations of one or two may still be dis- cerned among the grassy inequalities of the surface. One or two cottages existed here within the memory of the present generation, the principal of these occupied by the Neddy, whose surviving name has since distinguished the locality. He was ferryman and fisherman to the Duke, and seems to have been somewhat of an original, if the traditions pre-

served of liim deserves credit. His wife, a little English woman, used to help him daily to launch his boat, and waited on the beach for his arrival home at evening, invariably saluting him, ere he stepped ashore, with " Welcome home, Neddy, fish or no fish." The rocks about this point afibrd shelter during summer to a succession of gangs of tinkers — those nomads of civilisation who live in utter heathenism a.nd barbarism, despite all reformatory institutions and re- ligious or philanthropic efforts. ISTothing reaches their case but the order of the policeman to move on ; they know no higher authority, and no purer law than that which can be enforced by the baton, and society seems to consider them a class privileged to live and die in the most debased ignorance and idleness. The Avomen and children beg all day ; and by night, around their glimmering fires, the families huddle to- gether and divide the spoil, and fight aiid swear over the liquor which their cunning or their importunity has pro- cured.

From this point to Row Quay, Cairndow Bay, or Arden- caple Bay as it is sometimes termed, forms a beautiful cres- cent-like sweep of about half a mile. It is said to bear a very marked miniature resemblance of the Bay of Naples, The ground ascends gradually from the water edge to a con- siderable height, and the white and gray villas, rising above each other, look forth from the overhanging woods down upon the loch beneath. Many of these villas have been erected at great expense, and are furnished and decorated with the most refined taste. On a calm summer day, when the woods are in full foliage, abounding in varied tint and shadow, and almost screening the houses from view, and iraased in softer tone on the bosom of the waters, there is scarcely a more beautiful bit of scenery over which one can

linger and admire than at this point. At the further ex- tremity of the bay is Row Quay, and beyond it sweeps another semicircle, forming the E-ow Bay — not so beautiful as the first, yet possessing many attractions. In its centre stands the village and parish church of Eow — the village consisting of a small cluster of houses, only partially seen from the road, with Ardenconnal House, perched amid lofty trees, like a protecting fortress occupying a commanding situation on the heights behind. Adjacent to the village is the parish church, erected about twelve years since — a very handsome building, and decorated with several beautifully stained-glass windows, the gift, we believe, of Robert Napier, Esq., and others. A sad drawback, however, to the archi- tectural beauty of the ehurch is the utter ruin and neglect of the churchyard — imperfectly fenced, and with tombstones lying in every condition of dilapidation and disorder. Row parish, as already noticed, was disjoined from the parishes of Roseneath and Cardross about the year 1643. The part of it which extends from Shandon to the east boundary of Helens- burgh, belonged to Roseneath. From Shandon to Gareloch- head, and the Strath of Glenfruin, belonged to Cardross ; and from Gareloch-head to the boundary of the parish of Arrochar, is mentioned in the report of the Commissioners appointed for the Valuation of Teinds, in 1630, as lying in the parish of Inshalloch,* an old parish, which is now unknown even

* Inshalloch, says an antiquarian friend, is a name disguised by one of those freaks of orthography common in old documents. It is Inch- Cailliach, the name of the island of Lochlomond, adjacent to Balmaha, where it is beheved the churchyard and remains of the church may yet be traced. The church was transferred to Buchanan, which had formerly a chapel subordinate to Luss. All the lands belonging to Luss on the east side of the lake were annexed to this ancient parish to form the modern parish of Buchanan ; while a large portion of the parish of Inch-Cailliach, on the west side was annexed to Luss. The

by name in the district, and seems to have merged into the parish of Cardross. The district now comprehended as the parish of Kow, though not a parish till 1646, possessed several places of worship. One at Faslane, where the Lennox family had a castle, and a considerable part of which yet stands; another at Glenfruin, to which considerable church lands were attached, but the only remnant of which is the stone baptismal font, built into a modern cottage — ^the schoolmaster's house; and another at Kirkmichael, in Helensburgh, of which no vestige now remains, but religious service is said to have been performed in it in the early part of last century by an indulged Episcopal minister.

At the time the parish was formed, the most populous portion of it was the now almost lonely glen of the Fruin, where it was at first intended the parish church should be placed; but the tenantry succeeded in getting it erected where it now is by giving land for the church, church-yard, and glebe. The first minister was chosen in consequence of his ability to preach in Gaelic; but that tongue has long ceased to be used in preaching or conversation in the dis- trict. The last minister who used it was Mr. Allan, who, along with his son as successor, were ministers of the parish for about a century previous to 1812. The present beautiful church appears to be the third that has been erected since the formation of the parish. More than half of

territories included Caldannach, Prestelloch and Conglen, and as they would thus include the narrow strip of Luss, Craig-en-shee — which separated Row from Arrochar — they must have extended west- ward to Lochlong. Whatever of Inch-Cailliach may have been in- cluded in Row must have been annexed beforehand to Roseneath or Cardross, since the others were dismembered in the construction of Row. Buchanan was disjoined from Luss in 1621, twenty -two years previously, and the old parish of Lich-CailHach broken up.

its cost was subscribed by few of the parishioners on Gare- lochside, as an inducement to the heritors to build it. Its immediate predecessor had been built in 1862, and remained unseated for a year after it was occupied, the parishioners bringing stools and chairs or other conveniences with them on the Sundays, according to taste or resources. The pre- sent esteemed minister, the E,ev. John Laurie Fogo, has laboured acceptably and efficiently since 1832.

Row parish, in 1830, attained considerable ecclesiastical importance in consequence of a religious movement, known as the " Row heresy," originating here. This movement excited deep attention throughout Scotland and England at the time. It agitated the Presbytery, aud ultimately the General Assembly took up the matter, and it resulted in the exclusion of the then minister of the parish from his charge — a man who still survives the stormy discussions of the time, respected for his talents, faithfulness, and unblemished character.

Beyond the church, a long peninsula, called the Point, stretches out into the loch, encircling the village with an arm. On the neck of Row Point stands a beautiful Italian villa, built some years since by Daniel Walkinshaw, Esq., and which forms a most appropriate ornament to the land- scape, redeeming the otherwise bare point of its former bleak and unpromising aspect. A clump of fir plantation clothes the remainder of the point, lying above tide mark; and from thence, at ebb-water, a long narrow strip of gravelly channel reaches almost across the loch, leaving but a narrow passage betwixt and the opposite ferry of Rose- neath, in which the pent waters at ebb and flood boil and toss about at times with great fury. Standing on this nar- row isthmus, one cannot fail to note the contrast the waters

on eacli side present. With a breeze blowing freshly down the loch, or upwards, the tide on the one hand is fretting and angrily lashing against the opposing barrier, the waves raking down, with each returning grasp, the loose sand and pebbles, only to dash them back again on the shore. On the other hand, not a breath disturbs the placid surface ; the leaves of the ebbed sea-gresses and tangle float listlessly on the surface, and the medusa stretches out its hundred fibrous threads in quest of its minute prey, and the water-spider skims to and fro on its glittering pathway. How narrow and how frail the boundary between the bitter, bleak shore of wordly trial and adversity, and the calm rest of peaceful life ! To what slight interposition, which, men meaninglessly term chance, are we often preserved from the storm, and our bark rides safely in tranquil and untroubled waters ! And as one stands on this point and watches the fishing crafts on the lake beyond, he cannot fail to feel a measure of sympathy and interest in the humble lives of those who earn a liveli- hood from the treacherous deep; the poetry and peril of which have formed an exhaustless theme of past and present literature. The fisherman's boat itself, under the eloquent pen of Mr. Ruskin, becomes a very poem. How graphic and how true the description involuntarily rising before us as we write — "All ashine with the sea she plunges and dips into the deep green purity of the mounded waves more joy- fully than a deer lies down among the grass of spring, the soft white cloud of foam opening momentarily at the bows, or fading and flying high into the breeze where the sea-gulls toss and shriek ; the joy and beauty of it all the while so mingled with the sense of unfathomable danger, and the human efibrt andi sorrow going on from age to age — waves rolling for ever, and winds moaning for ever, and faithful

hearts trusting and sickening for ever, and brave lives dashed away about the rattling beach like weeds for ever ; and still at the helm of every lonely boat, through starless night and hopeless dawn, His hand who spread the fisher's net over the dust of the Sidonian palaces, and gave into the fisher's hand the keys of the kingdom of heaven."

THE SMUGGLER'S, OR THE WHISTLER'S GLEK

This beautiful and romantic glen is situated about half a mile to the north of the village of Row. It was anciently called Aldonalt, that is, the burn of Donalt, or Dualt. The lands that lay to the right were called Letru-alt. There was

62 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

Letru-alt-a-Mhailinn (Litrualt of the Mill,) immediately on the right and further along Mid Letrualt and west Letru- alt. The principal approach to it is through the grounds of Ardenconnal or Aldonwick ; but there are several bypaths "which are preferable if the pedestrian does not object to overcome a few obstacles such as hedges, dykes, and ditches. The glen is about a mile in extent, reaches up from the Gareloch northwards. At its termination there is said to be a bottomless linn, where, according to the tales of ancient days, many dark and bloody deeds were perpetrated. Cer- tainly the rugged, rocky, picturesque character of the glen is such to corroborate the most startling traditions asso- ciated with it. The south part of the glen is thickly wooded \7ith birch, fir, and hazel trees, and the craggy rocks are overrun with brambles, ivy, and brushwood, presenting an almost impenetrable jungle, while at the depth of twenty or thirty feet the burn, a wilful little stream, flows slugglishly along, or tumbles over some projecting rock in mimic falls. The glen has of late years been made much more accessible then formerly, a path having been formed on each side, and rustic bridges thrown across the ravine at short inter- vals. In one part of the water, as if about to leave the little glen, suddenly disappears under the ground and is distinctly heard murmering below the surface, but again, in obedience to an inexorable destiny, after a few hundred yards, re- appears and continues its wandering course, till it finally assumes the form of a considerable burn, which fiows unin- turruptedly into the Gareloch. The view from many points of the glen is beautiful, and must attract the most careless eye. Ascending the glen till you reach the outskirts of the wood, there bursts upon you an almost unrivalled scene of beauty : the clear and silvery Gareloch, bearing on its bosom.

THE smuggler's, OR THE WHISTLER'h GLElf. 63

the bark of many an honest fisherman, now appearing a mere speck, or the noble vessel with its living freight, ploughing its way through its peaceful waters; the opposite shore stretching out into the Frith of Clyde, forming the peninsula of E,ose- neath. Almost at the extremity, and partially hid by noble trees, stands the place of Koseneath, the seat of the Duke of Argyll ; and at a short distance westward, near the shore, is the Clachan, with its picturesque school house, and troops of merry children. Towering in the background are the rugged and heath-clad hills which border Lochs Long and Goil, while away to the west, and almost lost in the distance, the craggy mountains of Argyllshire ; and a little to the south, disappearing in the clouds, rise the shattered and thunder- splitten peaks of Arran. In former days this glen, as ita name implies, was a favourite and secure retreat for smug- glers, and not a few drops of " mountain-dew " have been car- ried from it unscathed by government influence.

This glen is worthy the attention of the botanist, and wo\ild amply repay his toil; he might spend days in sup- plying himself with many rare and beautiful plants, espe- cially of the fern tribe, and mosses of every variety and rain- bow-coloured hues.

Tradition records that many years ago, beside the black linn, and always when the moon was at its full, the figure of a woman in gray might be seen by night on a stone, crouched down with clasped hands and murmuring in a low soft wail to the bubbling stream. Her lover was said to have been slain by some rival in the lady's afiections, and his body subsequently discovered at the spot. "We never met with any one who saw the apparition, and do not vouch it as a positive fact.

This glen is sometimes known as the Whistler's Glen; by

54 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

this name it is recognised in the " Heart of Midlothian/' The author has connected it, despite a little anachronism, "with the son of Jeanie Deans's sister. He, while an infant, had been sold by the person to whom he was entrusted, to a wandering tribe of gipsies, and by them given up to Donacha Dha, the chief of a party of freebooters, who appears to have made the glen a place of retreat, and here the young lad was brought up in a state little removed from the savage, and only known by the name of "The Whistler." The reader. of the Heart of Midlothian will remember that his mother, while on a visit to her sister Jeanie, then Mrs. Butler, nearly lost her life while wandering through the glen. She was at- tacked by a party of Donacha Dhu's followers, among whom was her son, though quite unknown to her at the time, and was only rescued by the free use of her purse, and the ap- pearance of some of her sister's friends. The poor Whistler's end was a very melancholy one ; he was taken prisoner while attempting to set fire to a house ; but making his escape, he succeeded in hiding himself in this glen, till having mortally ofiended Donacha Dhu, he was sold by him to some American traders lying at Greenock, and lost his life in attemping to escape from a brutal Southern driver.

This story, and other circumstances, gave an interest to the glen, which would once have rendered a visit to it an undertaking requiring some courage.

THE GAEELOCH.

A narrow and indiiFerently kept road, notwithstanding the number of turnpikes on it, runs from Row Point to Gare- lochhead. At many points two carriages can hardly pass abreast, and when its rises above the level of the beach, wall

or fence often insufficiently interposes to protect the incautious traveller from being precipitated on the stones beneath. It is badly drained, and there is no footpath for humble pedestrians, and in wet weather is generally submerged in mud to a depth varying from two to five or six inches. With all these drawbacks, however, there is compensation to be found in the scenery through which it passes. Many a smooth and unexceptional highway leads the weary miles past a dreary and uninteresting country, without one refresh- ing feature or suggestive object anywhere arising to attract the eye or gladden the heart of the toiling traveller, while many a rough and rugged road penetrates the fairest scenes of nature. The smoother the journey the less the pleasure it confers — ^the glowing panorama of glen and mountain, lake and forest, is only witnessed after the toilsome ascent. As in the roads through life, with toil and trial are most of our pleasures won, and not found in our journey on smooth and easy levels, so it would seem the roughest roads in nature often lead through the most varied and longest remembered of our pleasant experiences : and the road here has this advantage. The road winds around all the little bays and creeks; rises here steeply in front; presents there a sudden turn; at this point reveals the whole loch to the eye ; at the next passes in front of some handsome villa or fragrant garden, shutting out the hills from view, or diverges beneath a clump of trees, or between a hedgerow, but nowhere lingers so long as to create a monotony or sug- gest a wish for change. The distance from Row to Gareloch- head is about six miles. The loch varies in breadth from half a mile to a mile, is in some places very deep, and to the eye is completely locked in on every side, the narrow outlet at Row Point being hardly perceptible at a distance. On

botli sides of the locli, and at its head, rise a barrier of heath- clad hills, generally sloping at an easy declivity down to the water ; overtopping those at the head of the loch, the high, bold, rocky mountains that stretch across the head of Glen Croe, and above Ardentinny, present their clear, sharp out- lines in the sky, and form a pleasant background to the picture. Like most Highland lakes, Gareloch, a few years since, to the travellers eye, showed but few signs of civilised life. The hills are clad with heath, and towards the margin of the loch, when partially reclaimed from morass and brush- wood, a scanty cornfield, and unplastered heath-thatched hut here and there told of human life and enterprise. At the head of the loch, a little clachan of these huts gathered to- gether, inhabited chiefly by fishermen, formed the village. Railways and steam navigation, however, have changed all that ; the aborigines are as nearly extinct as any doomed tribe of red men, or have become amalgamated with the in- vaders of their territories, and are now undistinguishable, and their huts and corn patches have passed away with them.

There are few buildings of any antiquity, or memorials of the past possessing interest enough to detain the stranger, or induce him to wander from the beaten track. Blair- vadic Castle, situated about a mile above the Row, a stately modern castle, built by the late Sir James Anderson, occu- pies the site of an older mansion built by the late James Buchanan, Esq., of Craigend. Perhaps the oldest house on Garelochside is Faslane House, which was a summer resi- dence last century. On the hill above Ardchapel, at Shan- don, enthusiastic and imaginative explorers have found the remains of an old dry dyke, but nothing like the founda- tion of a sacred edifice, even although the tradition is supported by the name yet retains. A much less equivocal

building, surrounded by remains of an ancient churchyard can be plainly distinguished at Faslane, a little farther north. Here worshipped generations, now long slumbering in dust, of the Celtic tenants and vassals of these glens. Here, doubtless, some jovial Friar Tuck held saints' fast daya o'er other fare than parched peas and holy water ; or,

perhaps, anchorite Cistercian imposed penance on the lawless Macfarlane or Colquhoun, or chanted midnight mass for the unshriven soul of dead freebooter and outlaw. The little chapel with its broken shrine and remote churchyard is worth a visit. It occupies a peculiarly lovely and sequestered spot on a rising knoll almost surrounded by a burn. Adja-

cent stood, in old times, Faslane Castle, tlie foundations of whicli can hardly now be traced among the mossgrown stones and grassy hillocks covering its site.

But if there are few ancient buildings, there are many modern ones well deserving more than a passing glance. At Shandon there is a collection of villas unsurpassed in beauty and picturesqueness of situation by any on the Frith of Clyde; and occupying a prominent position near the loch, is "West Shandon House, the princely mansion of Kobert Napier, Esq., a marvel of masonry and decorative art, and containing an attraction of rare treasures of ancient and modern art not equalled almost in Scotland, as a private collection. A greater treat to the art student or vistuoso than an inspection of Mr. Napier's mansion and collection, can hardly be enjoyed. There are both abundant modern curiosities and

*' Fouth o' auld nick nacketts, Rusty airn caps and anld steel jackets, Wad hand the Lothians three in tackets A towmond guid."

The house was built in 1857, but improvements are still going on. In close proximity, and not much inferior in attraction is Shandon House, a much older building, sometime the residence of Walter Buchanan, Esq., M.P. From Shandon to Gare- lochhead, about two miles distant, the road winds along some beautiful little bays — in particular we notice Faslane Bay, as possessing peculiar attractions, and we wonder that it has not caught the eye of any building speculator as a desirable site for villas. Here the village of Garelochhead first appears in view, and a few minutes' walk takes you to tliat memorable wooden pier where on a quiet Sunday afternoon some years ago, the battle of the barricades was faught, a battle

which ended in the subsequent expenditure of no insignifi- cant sum in the Court of Session, in vindication of the right of the proprietor to exclude Sunday excursionists, and pre- serve the good order and quiet of the village. The village itself is prettily situated at the head of the loch, and now stretches in a semicircle around it, and seperates the head of the Gareloch from Lochlong. At the top of the hill is the "wee public," called Whistlefield Inn, a welcome resting- place for the fatigued pedestrian, and from whence a mag- nificent view of Gareloch, T^ochlong, and Lochgoil, with their rugged and hoary guardian mountains, can be obtained The locality is a favourite resort of holiday parties, and there are few fine summer days in which it is not visited by crowds from some pleasure excursion steamer. In the fishing season a little stir is created in the village, and ample em- ployment for all the girls and boys afibrded for a month or two. In June and July fleets of fishing crafts harbour about the head of the loch, nightly dispersing through it in search of herring, of which great quantities are sometimes captured. The loch generally used to be somewhat celebrated for fish- ing, but seems of late years to have fallen rather into disre- pute, probably from the same mysterious causes which have operated in diminishing the supply of fish all along the west coast. To this the season of 1867 was exceptional, when it was visited by such shoals of herring and other fish, as had not been seen in memory of man.

CARDEOSS.

Helensburgh is bounded on the east by Cardross parish, which you enter immediately on leaving a long dull wall at

CARDROSS. 61

the extremity of the town. So dismally secluded is this part of Helensburgh from any possible view of the Frith, that between the highway and the rising ground on the north very few buildings for years had been erected. It is with a feeling of relief you emerge from this end of the burgh again into the open country, and to the ever cheerful view of the sea. A little way beyond the toll-house, on the north side of the road, stands the man- sion-house of Colgrain, a plain, unpretending, but com- modious building, surrounded by some fine old wood, and occupying a very picturesque situation. It used to be very much neglected — the grounds untrimmed, the fences dilapi- dated, and the whole premises had that sad, deserted aspect peculiar to many old country houses not regularly occupied, but the enterprising proprietor, Mr Colin Campbell, of Cam- bus-Eskan, aided by an enterprising tenant, has not only wrought immense improvements on the farm connected with it, but also exercised great taste in renovating the building and lawns. The land here is a rich alluvium, and for several miles along the road the gently rising upland is highly culti- vated, and bears very heavy crops. There are some of the farms on this and the adjoining Cambus-Eskan estate not surpassed for fertility or good husbandry by any in Dumbar- tonshire. Adjoining Colgrain, the policies of Cambus- Eskan, stretch down towards the road. A handsome freestone lodge and gateway stand at the aj^proach to the mansion, which occupies a commanding position on the rising ground, and is sheltered from the east wind by a high screen of hill and plantation. Below the road, and towards the river, is a stretch of land of considerable width, and which will, in all probability, in a few years, be occupied by villas, as it commands a beautiful view of the Frith, and is

62 HELENSBURGH GUIDE,

easily accessible by railway. The Cambus-Eskan grounds extend along the road about two miles, after which you pass Keppoch, the property of James Donaldson, Esq., with its comfortable and well-sheltered mansion-house, commanding a wide and varied prospect. Then, a little beyond, Lyleston, belonging to Wm. M. Donald, Esq., nestling under a wood, looks down on the bay and Frith. Here the road rises gradually till you reach Ardarden Hill, from which point a view of the Frith of Clyde, including Helensburgh and the high range of hills to the west, strikes the eye of the tourist. There is, perhaps, not a lovelier prospect in Scotland, and we have heard travellers affirm that nowhere had they seen it surpassed in the old or new world. Beneath lies the well-known promontory of Ardmore, connected with the mainland by a very narrow isthmus. If the tourist can afford leisure, he will find it worth his while to go a little out of his way to visit this beautiful spot. The whole pro- montory is about a mile and a half in circumference. Its centre is a circular wooded rock of some fifty or sixty feet in height, called the Hill of Ardmore, on w^hich a good house is erected, but which is not visible till you approach very closely to it. On various of the higher points rustic moss houses and bowers have been placed by the owners of Ard- more, commanding an ample prospect on either hand. At the base of the rock on the east, the gardens and orchard are situated ; and as the rocks are full of fissures, and clad with ivy and other creeping plants, they strike the eye with a picturesque efiect. A rock-bound coast runs all round the promontory, save where little coves occasionally stretch in towards the land, and in stormy weather the waters of the Frith beat furiously against it. Ships breaking from their moorings at Greenock have frequently been dashed to pieces

CARDROSS. 63-

on these rocks; and on such a lee shore escape for an vessel in this hapless plight is almost impossible. On the west corner of the grounds stands the Ferry-house, formerly much frequented by travellers and cattle-dealers as being the almost only means of communication with Greenock and the oppo- site shore. In stormy weather the passage across was some- times attended with a considerable degree of peril, and lives have frequently been lost. Many years ago, on attempting to make the passage home one wintry night, the ferryman and his two sons perished when almost on shore, and the first object that met the gaze of his anxious wife next morn- ing were the dead bodies of her husband and sons lying on the beach, almost at the threshold of their own door, where they had been cast up by the tide. A somewhat kindred story, though of less melancholy end, is told of another ferryman who lived here some time, one Jacob Brown, a solitary individual of rather an eccentric turn of mind. During the great French war a boat containing a military band which was being conveyed from Greenock to a trans- port ship accidentally upset, and the whole band perished. They were washed ashore subsequently near the ferry-house, and interred in the ground immediately behind it, now forming the kailyard. There they slumbered peacefully for many years save on the anniversary night of their death, when it was said the sounds of martial music was regularly heard echoing among the rocks around the lonely point. One night as Jacob was lying in bed he was awakened by an unwonted noise within and around his house ; on starting up, his heart quailled and his blood curdled as he saw a whole line of thin airy figures all arrayed in military garb, but through whom the pale moonbeams liitted, perched on tho top of a dyke, and playing the Dead Mareh in Saul, opposite

64\ HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

his window. The music was weird and unearthly in sound, and the deep notes of the huge trombone as it stretched occasionally till it touched the window of Jacob's room, and the hollow rumble of the drum, froze every drop of blood in his veins. Jacob could not cry, he could not move, he had not even strength to utter an inward prayer, but lay there, spell-bound, staring at the spectral band, till unconsciousness happily released him. When he came to his senses the next morning the band was gone, the sun shining brightly on the waters, and on the graves of the drowned musicians, all un- disturbed by their midnight orgies; but Jacob made his escape from the cottage with all convenient despatch, and no persuasion could induce him again to set foot in it, nor till his death did he cease to believe in the reality of the ghostly company who that night serenaded him.

On both sides of the narrow isthmus, connecting Ardmore with the mainland, the tide ebbs a long way, leaving a great tract of sand and marine deposit. These tracts, in the hands of any enterprising party, could easily be embanked and much valuable land reclaimed, and we understand such an operation has been for some time projected. The beauty of the hill and neighbourhood would be greatly increased were this scheme carried out. In the meantime these banks are, in winter, the haunts of various tribes of wild flowers, and are resorted to by numerous sportsmen — professional and amateur. The birds seems to find food amongst the marine grasses and Crustacea with which the banks abound, and though not nearly so numerous as they were twenty or thirty years ago, before steam navigation existed to the ex- tent it now does on the river, there are still large quantities found resorting to them each winter. Tribes of wild duck first make their appearance about the end of October, at first

in small families, gradually increasing as winter advances, into large and compact flocks. The teal, sheldrake, and common mossdnck first appear on the approach of frost or stormy weather, and later in the season flocks of Norwegian duck and barnacle haunt the bays and creeks. At ebb tide the sands at these and various other favourite feeding grounds are almost covered with curlew, gray and golden plovers, and small sand-larks.

On returning to the highway again, the tourist passes on the right hand the properties of Ardarden and Brooks, and on the left Mollandhu. The last was purchased by a legacy of a Mrs. Jane Moore, bequeathed about two hundred years ago to be invested in trust, for behoof of the poor of the parish of Cardross, lying between Lyleston and the burn of Auchenfro. It was then of comparatively small value, but now yields a rental of upwards of £300. The story of Jane Moore may be briefly told, as follows: — Jane Moore was born in Cardross parish, about 1620, in very humble circumstances, and, like most girls in her rank, went out early to domestic service, as the almost only available means of securing an in- dependent livelihood. She was engaged by the family of Kep- poch, where one wet afternoon, when baking in the kitchen, a miserable applicant for charity presented himself at the door. Actuated by the first impulse of benevolence, Jane handed the wet and famished man a cake, and bade him dry his rags near the fire. It was carried to the ears of the mistress of Keppoch that night that her servant had given away the bread of the family, and entertained a beggar ; and as the lady looked on the matter from a somewhat different point of view from the domestic, as ladies are apt sometimes to do, she immediately turned her out of doors amid the pelting, pitiless, rain, and falling darkness. The poor girl

wandered homewards, but by the time she reached the bum- foot of Auchenfro the stream was a raging torrent, which she dared not, in the darkness, cross. To return to Keppoch was vain, and no friendly roof was nigh to shelter her. Such poor cover as the bushes afforded was her only protection dur- ing the long, weary darkness, and storm of the night. But the wrath of the mistress of Keppoch, and the penance of Jane Moore were, as many untoward accidents of our lives are, the turning point of a brighter chapter. In her future career we find her in London. She was there when the great plague broke out in 1665 — a spectator and sufferer in that divine purifying of the moral and sanitary condition of the metropolis. She was attacked by the disease early, and was one of the few infected who recovered from the fell malady — a widow and friendless. The benevolence of the woman, who helped the beggar at Keppoch, who was not ex- hausted by her own trials, but exalted and purified ; she devoted her energies to nursing the sick and tending the dying around her while the pestilence lasted. Many had none left to claim their effects when they died, and bestowed their gold and treasures on Jane Moore. Wealth flowed in upon her, but only to be applied to charities; and amongst others she remembered the home of her youth. Before her death she appointed a sum to be invested for two purposes — vis., the erection of a bridge at the burnfoot of Auchenfro, where she had been arrested in her flight by stress of vf eather, and for relief of the poor of Cardross, resident between the clachan of Lyleston and the burn of Auchenfro. By con- fining the benefit of her bequest within these limits Kep- poch was excluded. The lands of Mollandhu were after, wards purchased by this bequest ; but, as in late years, the poor entitled to receive the benefit were exceedingly few in

number, and gradually diminishing, the Parochial Board of Cardross parish raised the question whether they were not the proper administrators of the fund, and after a good deal of litigation, it was ultimately decided in their favour. The fund is more beneficially applied than it could have been under the former arrangement. A beautiful avenue of trees overarches the road as it passes Geilston, and supplies a cool and shady walk of about a quarter of a mile in length. The mansion-house of Geilston stands at a little distance off the road on the left side, and can only be partially seen from it. The scenery in the neighbourhood of the house is very fine. Behind it flows the Geilston Burn, which rises in the moor some miles above. On this burn are some pretty bits of rock and waterfall for the pencil of the artist ; and were it not that its course is through very broken and rugged ground, it would be more frequently visited. A little beyond Geil- ston stands the village of Cardross — a very ancient village, consisting of some dozen of houses, an inn, picturesque parish church, manse, and unpretending Free Church meeting- house ; over-hanging the Parish Church are the beautiful grounds and manse of Bloomhill. The population of the village probably does not exceed fifty, and cannot have in creased within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. It lies in a sheltered warm situation. There are many beauti- ful walks in the neighbourhood, and the roads being light and gravelly, are always dry and pleasant. There are not many points of interest likely to attract the traveller out of the regular road. The ruins of an old chapel and church- yard a little way to the north, and the remains of Kilmahew Castle, are the two objects usually pointed out as worthy of examination. This chapel was subordinate to the ancient church of Cardross. The castle was the residence of Kapler

of Kilmaliew, a branch of the great Napier family who occupy such a prominent position in Scottish annals. The ruins of the old church of Cardross are still remembered on the point opposite Dumbarton Castle. The Lords Commis- sioners, at the disjunction of Row in 1643, ordained the kirk of Cardross to be transported to a more commodious place ; and on 12th September following, the ground was marked out for the new kirk and manse, in the situation now occupied by the present buildings. Kilmaliew had not, however, been always united to Cardross. Immediately after the reforma- tion, and for many years after, qualified ministers were not sufficient for the parishes, and often one minister had to hold a plurality of kirks, by the help of readers. In the register of ministers and readers of 1574, "Rosneith, Kilmahew, and Bulhill (Bonhill)," appear united under Malcolm Stevenson as minister, assisted by Ninian Gait as reader at Roseneath, and Adam Hutcheson at Kilmahew, At a farm called Castlehill, two miles nearer Dumbarton, once stood a residence of King Robert Bruce, and the place where he breathed his last after the stormy vicissitudes of his life had passed, and his kingdom had enjoyed a measure of rest and freedom. What an affecting sight it must have been to have seen that lion-hearted old king bowed down by disease and premature age sunning himself on the fair Clyde, or in view of his coming end, detailing to his nobles and barons those wise and prudential measures for the pro- tection and preservation of a kingdom lying so near his heart, and which had cost him such a trouble to preserve ! and then the record of his death here, there is scarcely a more touching incident in all Scottish history. How he bequeathes to his tried and noble friend the Douglas — whose friendship had been of that rare and enduring character

GLEN FRUIN. 69

•which no misfortune or disaster could diminish — his heart when it should beat no more ; and enjoins him to bear it to Jerusalem to fulfil his vow, in place of his body ; and how as every schoolboy knows, the Douglas, old though he was undertook the commission, and afterwards, tossing the golden casket containing that precious heart into the midst of the Saracen host, perished in following it. There was a sincere piety in all this which we must not judge of or measure by the standard of our own times, and which ignorance or bigotry alone would censure. In Scottish history there are but two epochs that relieve it from a dry record of barbarism — of traitorous nobles and an oppressed people — the record of our struggle for national independence, and the Reforma- tion. With the former of these Cardross, as we have seen, is intimately associated, and will ever remain a place of note insignificant though it otherwise be, as connected with the life and death of a true king. In the parish of Cardross the grandfather of the historian, Macaulay, was minister during considerable period of his life. Another distinguished his- torian and novelist, Tobias Smollett, was born in it, and near the place of his nativity, at Renton, a relative has erected a column in his memory, on which a familiar Latin inscription records the virtues and life of the author of "Roderick Random."

GLEN FRUIN

This most interesting and beautiful glen may be approached by several routes from Helensburgh. The most usual is by the road to Luss, which approaches very close to it at one or two points, and ultimately crosses the stream. The best, however, for one who has leasure and a desire to explore it thoroughly, is by crossing the range of hills on the Garelochj

70

HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

a little above Shandon, whence you decend into the upper part of the glen, not far from its sources. The ascent is pretty steep, but amply is the toil repaid as the traveller reaches the summit. Beneath him on the one hand stretches out Gareloch, like a sheet of molten silver overtopped by the purple hills. To the east can be traced the traok of the

E-leu Frutn

Clyde, its towns, villages and wooded hills, till Dumbarton rock hides it from view. On the left hand, the vale of Fruin slopes away through moorland, wood, and corn- field till it reaches Lochlomond shores. For many miles through it the eye follows the windings of the stream as it

GLEN FRUIN. 71

gushes through the rocks, or pauses amid the meadows, or struggles through the arms of the leafy hazels that strive to hide it as it dashes along. The descent from the brow of the hill is easy and short, and the pedestrian soon stands upon the borders of the stream. The upper part of the glen embraces a large semicircular tract of pasture meadow, hemmed in on three sides by heath-clad hills. Through the meadows flow numberless little streams,, the limpid parents of the Fruin. There is a cart road leading down cne side of the glen ; but for the pedestrian who is willing to encounter a little extra fatigue, which will be more than amply repaid by the scenery he must enjoy, the burnside is the best path. On a bright, pure day, the whole picture ia one of calm sweet beauty. Lazily the cattle rest on thd marsh, or stand fetlock deep in the stream. The long meadow grasses scarce wave to the breeze; there is no sound of man's existence breaking on the ear. The dragon-fly or the bee, humming past you in their flight, the distant whirr of the blackcock, the cry of curlew or plover, or bleat of sheep, alone wake the echoes, while the stream yields an un- wearying song as it journeys towards home —

' ' Glittering over the deeper pools, Ghttering over the sand" —

rising as it hurries through the stony channel, still louder as it dashes over rocky barriers, and sinking into a quiet lullaby as it circles through the sedgy pool where the gray duck and her dusky brood hide themselves from stranga eyes.

One cannot help a certain mournful retrospect at the', changes which time must have wrought in this glen. Like most other Highland retreats, it must have been thickly peopled in the days when the war-cry was a familiar sound

72 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

and clansmen rushed to a summons which would now find only an echo among the gray rocks. Little stretch of imagi- nation is necessary to conjure up clusters of lowly shielings, the straggling patches of ill-fenced corn, and curling peat smoke, and groups of half-clad, noisy children playing among the tall ferns by the burnside, where the greensward and half- eflfaced traces of ancient foundations now stretch down the hills. These days of Highland clansmen have rapidly passed away. The commercial power is now supplanting the feudal power, and the change of the face of nature has been cor- respondingly great. The substantial farm-steading, the active husbandman, and the cultivated field, occupy the sites of rude barbarism. And there are not a few farms, monuments of enterprise and energy throughout the glen. The land is not very fertile nor the exposure desirable ; yet the work of reclaiming waste moor, and converting profitless bog into fields of grass and grain has gone on of late years with great rapidity. Nor does it follow that all the romance and poetry of the people are extinct, because feudalism and vandalism are passing away. Romance and poetry never pass away. They are to the soul what the everlasting hills and mountains are to the landscape; only, as man rises in the scale of humanity they become sublimated and exalted in degree. The rural swain still sings as passionately of love — is still as faithful to his mistress, and as bold in danger as ever henchman of belted knight was. And Glen Fruin is somewhat celebrated for the amatory effusions Cupid has inspired. We quote a specimen given in an inter- esting little book by Mr. Robert Blakely : —

"I've often seen the roses blaw —

I've often stray'd the flowers among — I've often heard on birken shaw The httle woodlark's heavenly song —

GLEN FRUIN. 73

"I've often mark'd in cloudless sky The progress of the rising moon ; But never aught could yield me joy Like roaming on the banks of Fruin.

'Twas here I saw a diamond bright ;

Hpr raven hair's the jetty craw ; Her silvery neck as pure and white

As is the bosom of sea -maw ; The living drop frae off the lip

After emerging from the meadow land, a whitewashed building on the left side of the stream, surrounded by a score of riotous children, instructs the tourist that even here the schoolmaster is abroad. "Who would not like to be a scholar in such a school-house ! A mountain stream to revel in summer's play-hours at the very door. Ha^el dells within a stone's throw, where nests and nuts in their season may be found in any quantity, and the purple heathery hill behind, crossed with turf-dikes, where the wild bee has her store, and the blaeberry grows. Doubtless many a stalwart man and matronly woman far distant now remembers, with a sigh and a tear, the joyous days spent at this early Alma Mater.

The ruins of an old chapel, some years since, stood close by the stream ; and the locality is still indicated by the name of " The Chapel." Many of the stones were built into the school-house and adjacent farm-steading occupied by Mr, Jardine. The remains of a lint mill, which stood close by it, are still distinctly traceable on a rocky knowe close by the stream. Beneath them, the waters fall over a series of rocky ledges into a deep pool ; there the rocks and trees surround a natural basin, sheltered from the winds on every side. Imagination records a time when the gray monks

tenanting the chapel lands may have often, in this unchang- ing solitude, sat pondering over the vicissitudes of time, and meditating on the few and simple events of their lonely lives. And a fitting spot it is, too, for quiet reverie. The mossy sward, close by the water edge, offers a tempting seat. Shut out from all view of human existence, with the gray rocks rising around you, and beyond, above their sum- mits, the tops of the everlasting hills, with the many voices of the waters darting first impetuously over their opposing bulwarks, in hoarse angry tone, then murmuring in the pool beneath — now again in livelier melody, dancing over the fretted edges of their slaty bed, as they unweariedly sweep past to the bosom of their great parent, with the graceful fern maintaining hardy life on almost barren crevices in the rocks, waving its leaflets to the melody, the tall foxglove, and the modest primrose looking up from its roots, its beauty unnoticed but by the eye of Heaven, and its sweets unknown, save to the wandering bee — in such a nook one could loiter and muse a summer day.

" For busy thoughts, the stream flows on In foamy agitation, And sleeps in many a crystal pool For quiet contemplation. "

What a different scene was enacted here on a bleak February morning in 1603! The hills were clad with snow, and the biting frosty wind sweeping down the glen, when the war pibroch was heard awakening its echoes, and the wild shout of armed caterans startled the deer from his lair among the heather. The Macgregors and Colquhouns met in deadly feud by the river side, and one of the most san- guinary conflicts on record between two rival clans occurred. For many years previous the Macgregors had been a pro-

GLEN FRUIN. 75

scribed clan. Enactments had been passed against them and commissions obtained " to fersen and assege their housis and strengthis, raise fyre and use all kind of force and wer- lyke ingyne " against them. Such commissions put into the hands of crafty and designing statesmen like Archibald, Earl of Argyll, were not likely to prove a dead letter. There is rather reason to suppose that, as Breadalbane and Argyll had grasped at and secured the lands of this clan in the counties of Perth and Argyll, and were exposed to the retaliative wrath of the oppressed, these commissions were obtained for their own particular benefit. That was not an age of par- liamentary commissions, or committees of inquiry into the proceedings of men in power; and the most lawless and rapacious deeds might, under slight sanction of authority, be safely perpetrated in a country so little known as the Highlands of Scotland. How the feud with the clan Colqu- houn originated does not very clearly appear from any account which has been handed down. It is asserted on the one hand that the Colquhouns, lending a helping hand to the strong, were the original aggressors ; and on the other, that the murder of Sir Humphrey Colquhoun in the Castle of Bannachra, in 1592, had been planned and accomplished by the Macgregors, in company with the Macfarlanes, and that this was the foundation of the quarrel. But neither of these statements rest on any broad basis of fact, and can only be adopted as probabilities in absence of anything more tangible. There seems, however, to be good reason for supposing that, for artful and selfish purposes, the original quarrel was fomented into such a bitter and relentless hate as clansmen only could cherish, by Archibald of Argyll. He was then King's Lieutenant, and something more, in the government of this country ; and the use he made of his

76 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

power was, according to good authority, to incite the Macgregors to acts of hostility against his own personal foes. If the declaration of Macgregor of Glenstrae can be believed, and there seems no good reason to doubt it, Argyll seems to have acted the part of a very Judas in his dealings with these and other clans.

The immediate cause of the conflict in Glen Fruin is not easily discoverable. It is more than probable that an out- rage of some kind was meditated by the Macgregors, of which the Colquhouns had obtained timely notice, and pre- pared to meet them. Allister Macgregor, chief of the clan, and his brother John, seem to have been accompanied by about three hundred men ; and probably the number of the Colquhouns was not less. It has been reported at eight hundred ; but this is surely a mistake, for it is hardly credi- ble that the Laird of Luss could have raised such a force. Allister's superior military tactics were manifest in the divi- sion of his men into two bodies ; one of which, led by him- self occupied the upper jDart of the glen, while the men under his brother lay concealed near its foot. The clansmen met somewhere in the vicinity of the farm now known as Strone, and for a time the struggle was keen and fierce; but the Macgregors, long accustomed to the guerilla warfare of these Highland recesses, at length triumj)hed, and the Colquhouns were driven back. They then fell into the ambush laid by John Macgregor, who seems to have been afterwards slain in the conflict, and were pursued with disastrous slaughter to Rossdhu, a distance of about six miles, and a fearful scene of bloodshed and plunder ensued after the fight. The farm houses and shielings in and near the glen were entered, their inmates cruelly butchered, the houses burned, and the cattle carried off. In the indictment laid against their chief, the

GLEN FRUIN. 77

cattle are described as six hundred kye and oxen, eight hun- dred sheep and goats, and fourteen score of horse. There were killed of the Colquhouns about one hundred and forty — in the battle or retreat — while the loss of the Macgregors seems, by all accounts, not to have exceeded a few men.

Tradition assert that the victorious Macgregors, inflamed with victory, wantonly murdered in cold blood some thirty or forty boys, students in the Collegiate Institution at Dum- barton, who had been spectators of the fight. These had been gathered together in a house near Bannachra, and were placed under a guard for protection; but at the close of the day, when the chief of the Macgregors inquired after them, he found that certain of his followers, in the absence of the guard, had butchered the whole of them. There may be some exaggeration in the statement ; but the subsequent criminal trial of various of the clan, and their depositions contain allusions which clearly place beyond doubt the fact of some such circumstance having occurred.

The Macgregors returned to their native fastnesses with their booty, where they were welcomed by the plaudits of their clan; but the retributive arm of the law, weak as it then was, soon followed them thither. Sir Alexander Colquhoun appeared before King James YI., at Stirling, followed by a mournful procession of the widows of the slain men, bearing their husbands' bloody plaids and armour. Such a spectacle was not presented in vain before the weak king. It was followed by an act of the Privy Council, ad- vising extermination to the clan, making it even an offence punishable with death to give any of them food or shelter. They were consequently pursued and hunted in every corner, their leaders executed, their possessions destroyed, and their children either put to death, or committed to the tender

mercies of some lawless cliief, and forbid to bear the name of Macgregor.'"'

After leaving the chapel, the stream follows a winding irregular course through the glen, till it reaches a point where it is crossed by the road to Luss. Here, and for some distance along its banks, it is densely wooded. On the right- hand side, a little beneath the bridge, stands on a command-

GLEN FRUIN. 79

murdered under circumstances of peculiar barbarity by some of tlie Clan M'Earlane. The castle itself is worth a visit; but as it is rather out of the way at present, we only observe that it has been a superior building to the majority of the old keeps in the Highlands. From its situation it commands a magnificent view of Lochlomond, and the country beyond. A more modern mansion, belonging to the Buchanans of Arden, now the property of James Lumsden, Esq., of Arden, has been built beside it, which is now let to the farm tenant. Beneath the castle the river winds picturesquely along till it reaches Dunfin mill, where it falls over a rocky breastwork of considerable height. This is a favourite spot for artists in the summer season; the mill, the waterfall, and the wooded rocks form a very beautiful scene, woi-thy the pencil of M'CuUoch or Donald. In autumn, during flood, the trout may be seen in considerable numbers ascend- ing this fall. It is interesting to witness their j)atient, per- severing effort to overcome the natural barrier to their pro- gress— effort almost invariably crowned with the success it deserves. After taking another curve, the stream runs in an almost straight line to Lochlomond, which receives its waters, after a course of eight or nine miles through varied and beautiful scenery. Alike to botanist, geologist, and naturalist, a visit to Glen Fruin cannot fail to be interesting and profitable, nor less so to the simple rambler, who, in the contemplation of nature, has his thoughts exalted to Him whose handiwork he surveys, who has clothed the earth with beauty, and everywhere teaches us to reverence and love His power, wisdom, and goodness.

The Fruin being the largest stream in the parish, is much frequented by the bi'ethren of the rod in summer. It is a very tempting water, but rarely fulfils the promise of a

basket. Tlie trout run small in it, and from the frequency with which it is fished are very shy. Late in the season a number of sea trout find their way into its pools, chiefly in the upper ranges ; but seem to be caught only by an initiated few. Salmon do not ascend the stream till very late in the season and then only for a short distance to spawn and retii'e again to the more congenial waters of the loch. It is now, along with Lochlomond and other tributaries of the loch, under the management of an angling club; but the old fishers to the "manner born," say that protection has not im- proved it as a fishing stream, although the number of fish may be increased. Probably notoriety has injured it, as it has injured many better things. When it was unprotected it was comparatively little frequented ; protection has given it a name, and from the frequency with which it is now fished the fish have become wary and shy. The Luss water, distant a few miles, is well reported of as a superior stream. Small dark coloured files with teal drake or landrail wing are most suitable for the native trout, and red or yellow for sea trout. The high ranges of both streams are best. The fish become scarcer as you near the foot of the streams.

ROSENEATH.

81

ROSENEATH

Is perhaps the favourite spot beyond all others in the neigh- bourhood for pic-nic parties, and deservedly so, for no other presents, within the same easy access, so much lovely seclu- sion and such a variety of shady strolls, and luxurious scenes of natural beauty. Among its shady ^^aths, and by its pebbly shores one could loiter unweariedly a summer day. The stately woods, with their richness of colour, graduating from the dull, dark yew, to the brown beech, closing in every* where around ; the evervarying features of the hills, and the

82 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

nuisical restlessness of the waters of the loch, mirroring the unfathomable blue depths and floating clouds of heaven on their bosom ; the glimpses of distant scenery through the overarch- ing trees ; the plash of the tiny waterfall, and many-voiced songsters among the broom and brush- wood, yield a rich harvest of quiet delight. To one who can appreciate beau- tiful scenery, and whose mind is susceptible of those influ- ences it is calculated to produce, a stroll through the eastern part of the parish cannot but be both pleasant and profitable. The water here is deep, and the beach shelving rapidly down to it, so that a boat, at almost any stage of the tide, runs high up upon the shore and disembarkation is easily eflected. Right before you stands the Castle of Roseneath, a beautiful mansion, belonging to the Duke of Argyll, built of polished freestone, in the Koman Ionic style. It was begun in 1803, and has been gradually advancing towards completion, but parts of the interior are not yet finished. Another castle used to occupy a green knoll nearer the water, but which was destroyed by fire some sixty years since. The design of the modern building, which was furnished by Bononi of London, is very imposing, and the efiect is increased by its position. It commands an extensive view of the Gareloch in front on the north, Ardencaple and Helensburgh towards the east, with the surrounding hills as a background. In front, the ground on the immediate vicinity of the castle is laid out as a lawn, interspersed with patches of copse wood and evergreen, stretches down to the beach. It is surrounded on all other sides by woods of great age, through which a variety of walks and drives have been formed with great taste. Campsail Bay, in front of the castle, is one of the most lovely bays on the Clyde. From its sheltered situation it is peculiarly adapted for winter harbourage of numerous

EOSENEATH. S3

cutters and small craft. During the French war it was used as a harbour for a considerable portion of the fleet at one time, and in later times its friendly shelter was sought by her Majesty, for a night during one of her visits to Scot- land. From this circumstance it is almost as well known as the Queen's Bay as by its other title. The night and fol- lowing morning in which her Majesty visited Gareloch were very stormy. It is told of an Helensburgh baker, who had received orders to provide the royal table with bread, that in order to immortalise himself, he baked a great cake worthy of royalty, and intended as an offering to her Majesty; and in the morning, dressed in his best, he accom- panied the'cake, in charge of two apprentices. But luckless apprentices and unfortunate gift ! In ascending the side of the royal yacht one of them stumbled, his hold gave way, and the cake was precipitated into the water, food for fishes instead of royalty. There is not much in the interior of the castle to attract visitors. Inverary, which is the principal seat in Scotland of the Argyll family, contains almost all those relics of a past age interesting to antiquaries and curiosity hunters. In the fire which destroyed the former building, also perished almost all the old furniture, paintings, and ornaments which would otherwise have formed a very valuable collection. Any one curious to examine the house may, however, in absence of the family, easily obtain admit- tance, and to those who delight in spacious appartments, well appointed in every respect, such a visit will be satisfactory. But on the whole, the gardens and grounds are the chief attractions in connection with the buildings. These are kept in excellent order, and laid out with great taste ; and the gardener who is quite an enthusiast in his profession, is most obliging and attentive to visitors. Things are much

improved since our first visit years ago. Then there was an air of decay and dilapidation everywhere witnessed. It almost seemed as if decay of the noble house of A.rgyll, so long prominent both for good and evil in the history of our country, had fallen upon its outskirts. Our old cicerone, a boatman, was perhaps not the most fitting guide that could have been selected to the spot, yet he was an original in his own way. His ideas of the wooded seclusion in the neighbourhood of the castle seemed to be regulated by their adaptation for the unlawful purpose of defrauding her Ma- jesty's revenue, and he was drawn into a narration of various "ploys" and hairbreadth escapes of his younger days connected with the smuggling, and which he seemed to look back upon with a peculiar relish.

The shores of Campsail bay are in some parts rocky, with little natural coves running into them. These are a favour- ite resort of strollers and such little pleasure parties as in hot summer weather seek a quiet retreat for an hour or two. They are very picturesque, and ajfford, even in the most boisterous weather, a pleasant shelter. At the extremity of the bay you quit the policies connected with the castle, and emerge on the highway, which runs northward up the Gareloch, and diverges on the left accross the hill to the opposite side of the parish, and nearly at the mouth of Loch- long. The walk up the hill is a very romantic one. The whole distance does not exceed two miles. For about half a mile, before the ascent begins, the road runs through a glen, and passes some picturesque little cottages almost hid among roses and trailing plants of various kinds. One is almost tempted to think if love in a cottage, and love amongst the roses, were ever realized, they might find a fitting abode here, so great is the profusion of these two favourite con-

ditions of Cupid's existence. A little further in advance the traveller passes a Free Church, a neat little building em- bosomed amongst the trees, and on the hill-side above it stands the manse. A country pastors life, away from the excitement, bustle, and unrest of the city existence, might almost be expected to be fully realized here. The church, however, seems rather awkwardly situated, as it stands neither in the village of Roseneath, nor near enough to the modern villages of Kilcreggan and Cove to be easily accessi- ble on a wet Sabbath, and on a summer day so far distant that the walk may be supposed to excite the soporific tenden- cies of the congregation. The hill, once ascended, the view that breaks upon the eye is very grand. On the one side is the Gareloch, on the other the Firth of Clyde, with many smiling little villages along its shores, screened behind by high ranges of hills, behind which the blue peak of Goatfell towers up to the clouds. At all times studded with steamers and sailing vessels of every kind, the Firth presents an animated and busy appearance, and the distant white feather of the locomotive suggests that unwearying human, industry whose wealth and energies have reclaimed all these coasts from a rude wilderness, and impressed them with the evidences of taste and comfort. Almost immediately at the base of the hill stands the modern village of Kilcreggan, which has sprung into existence during the past six years and about a mile further west, and nearly opposite Lochlong, the kindred village of Cove. In both of these, villas are built in good taste, with considerable pretensions to archi- tectural design, and the gardens and lawns are neatly laid out. The feus are held from the Duke of Argyll at much more reasonable terms than at many of the neighbouring watering- places. The villages are not likely to increase much in size,

Sd) HELENSBUllGH GUIDE.

however, unless liis Grace gives off ground for building further east, as much of the available ground near the water is already occupied. The road runs in front of these villas and along the shores of Lochiong towards Arrochar, As the parish of Roseneath is not very extensive — stretching little more than seven miles from east to west, and from one to four miles broad — the pedestrian may easily survey the whole of it in one day, by keeping along the road till he reaches Peaton, the estate of J. D. Campbell, Esq., or onwards to Portincaple, whence there is a road across the hill which brings him again close upon the Gareloch and joins the road leading from E-oseneath Bay to the loch, near Rahane Mill. Continuing his walk down the loch, the pedestrian passes Barreman House, the jDropertyof E.. C. Cumming, Esq., who is also proprietor of a considerable part of the land on this side of the parish. On his grounds a number of very hand some houses have been built, and till the more recent vil- lages started on the Lochiong shore, they were a favourite resort, being, in fact, the only summer quarters for the visitors in the parish. To one great drawback, however, the houses are liable on this side of the Gareloch, and that is, they occupy a northerly position,

"And the spring comes slowly up this way."

The high screen of hills behind the houses must also have considerable influence in shortening the summer day. On Barreman there is an excellent slate quarry, which was worked for several years past by an enterprising firm in Glasgow. It appears to be a continuation of the seam which has for long been quarried at Luss. It breaks out in the range of hills at the head of Glen Fruin, where there are traces of old workings, appears again above Row, and in

the same line at Roseneath. The slate is slightly darker in colour than that found at Luss quarries, but seems nothing inferior in quality. The lands of Barreman terminate a little to the west of Roseneath Ferry, where the Argyll property on this side of the parish commences. Opposite the ferry the loch narrows from about a mile and a half to little more than three hundred yards, a long neck or point running out from Row far into its waters. At ebb or flood- tide, the rush of the stream here is very great, and if any wind is blowing, its waters at times boil and beat furiously. A pier has been erected at the ferry for the accommodation of steamers, at which they can land their passengers in all weathers. A small tax, but which must amount to a very handsome rent in the course of the year, is exacted by his Grace from passengers landing or embarking. A little above the Ferry-house stands Clachan House, belonging to the Argyll family. There is here an avenue of yew trees leading from the house to the old church, believed to have been planted in the time of Charles II. These, along with two immense silver firs in the woods at Campsail — supposed to be the first of their species planted in Scotland — are the chief sylvan glories of the parish, and amply worth a visit. Passing up fi-om the ferry, the parish church, a neat little building in the early English style, strikes the eye. It was erected in 1853-4 from a design by D. Cousin, Esq., of Edin- burgh, and originally consisted simply of nave and chancel, but in 1862 another aisle accommodating 130 sitters was added — making the whole number 500. In the chancel are the pulpit, communion table, and font — the latter a gift to the church. The space on the wall of the chancel below the window is filled by a large illuminated table of the com- mandments drawn and coloured from mediaeval designs by

W. A. Muirliead, Esq., Edinburgh, and to the left a smaller of the Lord's prayer — both gifts from the artist. To the right is a monument in Ayrshire stone and white marble, containing a medallion by Wm. Brodie, Esq., E,.S,A., dedi- cated by his parishioners and friends to the revered memory of the late Robert Story, minister of Roseneath, whose pas- torate of forty-two years closed in 1859. In the neigh-

bourhood of it is Roseneath village or clachan — imm^or- talised by Sir Walter Scott. It probably has not in- creased since the times of Jeanie Deans, and consists of less than a score of little low-roofed cottages, occupied by a pri- mitive and contented population, who hold themselves secure under the shadow of the great MacCallum More's wing.

ROSENEATH. 89

The old parish church stood nearer the clachan than the present one. It was a plain old building, as may still be seen, — old enough to be associated with the labours of Reuben Butler, and valuable, as affording building spaces among its timbers to hordes of swallows and bats. On a very- wet day the congregregation we are told, had to select their seats with a view to avoid the drip from the ceiling, and the necessity of an umbrella over the precentor's head often sug- gested itself to strangers. This state of things, has, however, happily passed away, and the congregation now worship in comfort in any kind of weather. For some time prior to the beginning of the thirteenth century, the church was a free parsonage, and under patronage of the Earl of Lennox ; but about this time it was given to the monks of Paisley in per- petual alms, and continued as one of their curacies till the Reformation. At removal of part of the last church, the bell was found to bear an inscription in Latin to the effect that it had been made in Holland early in the seventeenth century. It is suspended in the new building, and has a wonderfully musical tongue to have wagged so long. As in most other romantic spots on the borders of the Scottish Lowlands, tradition associates Roseneath with blind Harry and Sir William Wallace, and near the castle there is pointed out to the credulous a rock called Wallace's leap. These traditions doubtless invest the spot with some degree of in- terest, however much our sober judgment may feel disposed to reject them. There is probably more truth in the story of several of the persecuted Covenanters having found shelter and protection from Argyll here in times of hardship and trial, and till a recent date it is said certain descendants of the renowned Balfour of Burley were found living in the neighbourhood.

One peculiarity connected with tlie parisli is deserving of notice and of the attention of naturalists. A writer in the old statistical account of Scotland says: — "Here rats cannot exist ; many of these have at different times been accidentally imported from vessels lying upon the shore, but were never known to live twelve months in the place. From a prevail- ing opinion that the soil of tHis place is hostile to that animal, some years ago a West India planter actually carried out to Jamaica several casks of Roseneath earth, with a view to kill the rats that were destroying his sugar-canes. It is said this had not the desired effect : so we lost a very valuable export. Had the experiment succeeded, this would have been a new and valuable trade for the proprietors; but perhaps by this time the parish of Hoseneath might have been no more." How far the existence of animal life in this form is still unknown in this parish, the present writer is unable to determine; but if it is singular in this exemp- tion, it is also singular in another — the absence of such a thing as a public-house. Although there is an inn at Hose- neath Ferry, and a temperance hotel at Kilcreggan, both much frequented, there is not an inn, lodging-house, or shop, in the parish where a single lawful glass of whisky can be obtained — no great deprivation, probably, to any one, but an illustration at home of the possibility of a pretty large and populous parish thriving under the Maine liquor rule, which the advocates of temperance seem to have altogether forgotten. This has been the case now for some time, and we suppose as long as his Grace the present Duke of Argyll, continues to rule on his own lands, it will remain so. There have been a few celebrated men born in this parish, amongst whom we may notice the mathematician, Matthew Stewart, father of the distinguished philosopher, Dugald

ROSENEATH. 91

Stewart, and Dr. Anderson, the founder of the Andersonian University. Glasgow. Both Dugald Stewart and Dr. Ander- son were children of parish ministers of Roseneath, and they are still referred to with no little pride by the older inhabitants, as samples of what the parish could produce. Besides the parish church, of which the Rev. Robert Her- bert Story, ordained in 1859, is minister, there is the Free Church already mentioned — Rev. J. M'Ewan, minister ; Craigrownie Chapel, in connexion with the Establishment, erected to meet the wants of the population of Cove, Kil- creggan, and Craigrownie — Rev. David Shanks, minister ; and a wooden building erected by the United Presbyterian body near Kilcreggan, in which the Rev. Joseph Corbett is pastor. The population of the parish, according to last cen- sus, was 1 600. The resident Justices of the Peace are R. C. Cumming, Esq., Baremann, and Alexander Abercromby, Esq. of Craigrownie Castle.

COYE AND KILCREGGAK

Middle aged i-eaders will remember Kilcreggan Ferry house, with its thatched roof and whitewashed gables stand- ing by the pleasant little bay, sheltered by the grassy knowe behind and projecting headlands on each side. Many of them will remember it with kindly feelings as the goal of boyish rambles from Gourock and Helensburgh, during summer holidays, where homely oat cakes and bowls of fresh milk— and such milk it was, rich and fragant as nectar — were always to be had from the good wife, who had a special regard for the whole race of boys. Even ripe gooseberries and the more luscious strawberries and cream were not awanting in their season. How the elders of the party

92 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

fared, when there were elders amongst them, we care not to enquire, but for boyhood, no better baiting place than the old ferry existed, and no pleasanter ramble than up the hill to the little clachan, or by the sea shore to examine the salmon nets and hunt for nests among the broom. These days have passed away. The ferry house still stands, the thatched farm steading is still there, but the delightful privacy, the primitive hospitality, the joyous sense of freedom from all constraint or possible interference are gone. Modern civilization has placed its fetters on the Arcadian freedom of the spot. The road maker, the builder, the gardener, and worse than all, the Police Act has been abroad, and there is no lodge in the wilderness with any contiguity of shade left, no more wandering at sweet will by the solitudes of the sea shore, possible to the wayfarer.

Cove and Kilcreggan though two distinct villages are classed together. They are embraced as one police district under the provisions of the General Police Act, and very soon will form one continuous line of villas and gardens. Standing on the south-western part of the peninsula of Pose- neath they have an admirable exposure — are warm, dry, and healthy places of resort, and possess facilities for sea bathing which no other place so near Glasgow enjoys. If only a little of the attention were given to the convenience and comfort of sea bathers, which exist so abundantly in our English and foreign watering places, by the employment of bathing machines and placing them under proper regulation, Kilcreggan and Cove might become the most fashionable resort on the Clyde. But the Scotch mind is slow to appro- priate ideas foreign to the groove in which ancestral practice has worked, and the growth of a watering place unfortu- nately brings no increase of comfort or convenience.

COVE AND KILCREGGAN. 93

The estate of Roseneath, on which these villages are built, it is almost needless to say, belongs to the Duke of Argyll. The lands were offered to feu about the year 1848, and since then the places may be said to have sprung into existence. A pier was erected at Kilcreggan in 1850, and one at Cove in 1852. There are two churches. The Established at Craigrownie, pleasantly situated on the hill side, and built in 1853, and the United Presbyterian, a wooden erection, put up in 1858. A new stone building, to supersede this wooden house, is now being erected.

The principal drives are to Roseneath village, four miles distant through a beautifully wooded dale j to Coulport, five miles distant by the shores of Lochlong, and round the parish by Rahane and Peaton about twelve miles.

There is not much in the neighbourhood to interest the antiquarian. Tradition points to Balfour of Burley having made it his retreat after the defeat of the Covenanters at Bothwell Brig, and his descendants are said still, or lately, to have been found living in the parish. Scott's " Knock- dunder Tower," immortalised in the Heart of Midlothian, stood somewhere on the west extremity of the now conjoined Burgh, and the site is said to be occupied by a wooden house. Celtic arms, cists, human remains, and ancient coins have in recent times been discovered in various parts of the district, but not to any great extent.

LUSS.

A pretty stiff ascent of about a mile, and you are over the summit of the Black Hill, looking down on Helens- burgh, up at the heavens, or straight forward across a moor, through which the road winds onwards to Loch- lomond. If the day is hot, you long to keep company with the herd of black cattle standing knee-deep in the pond, or the sheep sheltered beneath the long heather ; for the sun pours down mercilessly on your shelterless head, and glows on you as only on the moor the sun can glow and burn. But if the wind stirs from any ]3oint of the compass, you gratefully feel it here. Even when the firth below is calm and unruffled, and the white gull "floats double" on its bosom, the bog cotton is nodding its head, and the tall grasses rustling their spears together to the passing zej)hyr, on this high table-land. By the time you have reached the summit of the ascent, you are fain to rest and look before you, unless bent on a more lengthened walk. The blue lieavens are overhead, the purple heath beneath, and every- where around you, the distant Grampian range in front, with a little peep of Lochlomond, like a glittering stone, shining somewhere between the wooded knolls below you ; the air made musical with unnumbered songs, from the chirp of the grasshopper at your side to the wail of the circling plover above you. How pleasant to rest and feel the glow of life and beauty that flows from God's works, and seems to flll, and purify as it fills, the thirsting soul ! A broken moor, flanked by hills, and embracing the valley of the Fruin, stretches from this point away down to the shores of Lochlo- mond, some five miles distant. Yery much the- same aspect

must this unreclaimed bog and meadow have borne long cen- turies ago, when the tourists who frequented it were not young ladies botanising, or young gentlemen rambling with kit or creel but kilted caterans of the clans, who loved nature best when in her darkest moods, and the road best when the stocking of a Sassenach byre was marching on before them.

Past a clump of wood, past corn fields, then out into more \\raste moor, dotted over with little stacks of peat, with the peewit wheeling in the air, and the snipe starting from the ditch at your feet ; past low-lying, sheltered farm home- steads, that the winter wind, as it howls down the glen, never in its maddest fury reaches — where bee-hives are planted thickly in the garden, and the honeysuckle climbs about the door, and the collie basks sleepily in the porch; past a dark shady glen, the haunt of the roe-deer and rabbit, in whose recesses the pigeon chants its mournful song —

' ' Where the denser grove receives

No sunlight from above ; But the dark foliage interweaves In one unbroken roof of leaves, Underneath whose sloping eaves

The shadows hardly move. "

Past a sparkling stream, making melody to the wild fl.owers and woods, as it dances and leaps on its way to the lake beneath ; past another ascent, up a little hill, not so difficult or so long as the first, with a high primrose-covered bank on each side, and then suddenly before you stretches out a noble prospect. The lower waters of the loch are seen, and a wide range of hill and dale, meadow and moor, are spread out before you, — such a view as the eye cannot take in at a glance, but return to again and again, gathering fresh plea- sures at each fresh discovery of its beauties, till the gazer

is tempted to give utterance to the feelings awakened, in words of deepest and delighted wonder.

A long low wall, clad in many places with patches of maidenhair fern, and others, which encloses the policies of Rossdhn, now prevents the pedestrian, for some time from seeing much that is interesting, continuing for above a mile, and then Lochlomond is seen in its beauty and grandeur, with the island of Inchtavannach opposite. It bursts upon you at once ; you breathe the fresh atmosphere of liberty ; your eyes dwell upon a vision of loveliness, and you draw a long involuntary inspiration of delight. You have been wondering for half an hour past, how it looked on close ap- proach, and vainly conjecturing the beauties that might be visible were you on the other side of that endless wall; but now, all this is forgotten, and you revel in the unexpected panorama of slyvan and romantic beauty that lies before you.

*' A dewy freshness fills the silent air ; No mist obscures, nor cloud, nor speck, nor stain Breaks the serene of heaven."

The islands, and their o'erhanging woods, seem to sleep upon the tranquil waters, whose stainless bosom reflects their beauties, and mirrors the blue sky^ and each broken white cloud, on its placid depths. Each step reveals new features, and brings to light new points in the landscape, more lovely, if possible, where all is lovely. "With slackened pace and enraptured sight, the spectator leisurely lingers, and notes every fresh object of interest that the windings of the road reveals to him. " The courting-tree," a wide-spreading and densely leaved monarch of the wood, familiar in the dreams of Luss lads and lasses for many generations, attracts atten- tion to it itself as you pass, and little glimpses of the lake

and mountains obtained through long tunnels of interweaving branches, stereoscopic in minute beauties and effects, arrest your steps at almost every turn. Less than half an hour brings you to the old village of Luss, situated almost on the banks of the loch, and picturesque from its position and age. It is a little cluster of cottages and gardens, amongst which several modern cottages have, of late years, been erected by Sir James Colquhoun, much superior in appear- ance and comfort to the houses of the old village. Luss contains one inn, at a little distance from the village, a re- spectable and commodious house, and favourite resort of anglers and tourists, and worthy of more patronage than it receives, commanding a lovely and uninterrupted view of its islands and opposite shores, with the dark shadow of Bei;- lomond, like a giant, rising almost in front. The parish church stands a little to the right, embowered among trees, a plain building, about a century old; but, judging from the dates of the tombstones in the churchyard, erected near the site of an older church. In summer, when the neighbour- hood is thronged with visitors, it is found rather small for the accommodation of the worshippers, but otherwise suffi- ciently large. Its appearance is in keeping with the locality. It is almost impossible to conceive a finer situation for a rural church. On the confines of the Luss water, and partly surrounded by lofty trees — overlooking, from its eminences, the village, and overlooking the lake, hoary with age, and hallowed by the memory of past generations of worshippers, whose dust lies mingled around its walls, it forms one of the best remembered features of the scene.

The tourist to Luss should not neglect obtaining two of the best views of Lochlomond and its scenery that can be had. One of these is from the rising ground on the opposite

98 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

island of Inchtavannach ; tlie other, from Stonehill, behind the village. Both are within easy access ; and from either point, on a clear summer day, a landscape spreads out before the eye which scarcely any parallel can be found to in the scenery of earth's fairest gardens, and which will leave its impress upon the memory of the spectator through coming years. If you wish to see the lake properly, and form a thorough idea of the many glimpses of fairy land to be obtained amongst its islands and creeks, take a small boat at Luss, and row through the passages behind the islands oppo- site. If you wish a more extensive view, and one which, in our opinion, is not equalled by the far-famed prospect from the top of the mighty Ben itself, ascend the hill behind For- kin toll, a few miles above Luss. There, after half an hour's climb, you will reach a hill lochan, or tarn, called the Fairy's lake, the waters of which seem, in particular lights, to glow with all the prismatic colours of the rainbow, and in which, in olden times, the good-wives dipped their yarn over-night, and found it dyed the desired hue in the morn- ing. Look back now towards the loch, and your eyes will be feasted with a vision of loveliness scarcely equalled in Scotland. Luss, like almost every old pari.sh of note, had, in former days, its tutelary saint — one St. Keasog, who is said to have suffered martyrdom in the sixth century. His- tory and tradition seem alike silent in regard to his life ; for, so far as we can learn, none of his deeds have survived the lapse of years since his decease. His memory is perpet- uated by the remains of a large cairn of stones in the neigh- bourhood— the place of his reputed burial — called Cairn-na- Cheasoig, and a stone effigy dug out of the assumed ruins of this chapel, which is now removed, and carefully preserved by the lord of the manor, who takes a deep interest in the

Luss. 99

memorials of the past history of the parish. During the thirteenth century Haco, of Norway, better known than the tutelary saint, ravaged the islands of Lochlomond and Luss and put most of the Celtic inhabitants to death. Probably then these islands were inhabited by numbers of savage free- booting Highlanders, who found in them protection and comparative immunity from danger, till the undaunted Nor- wegians rooted them out. Since that time they have been tenanted chielly by deer and game. The two largest of them, Inchmurrin and Inchtavannach, each of them extending up- wards of a mile in length, and several of the smaller ones — such as Inchlonaig and Inchfad — would be capable of sup- porting several parishes. They are generally fertile, and, if cultivated, would yield luxuriant crops ; but then their sylvan beauty would be lost, and that romantic attraction which they possess, arising, as it does, to a considerable ex- tent from their natural iuxuriousness, would be lost for ever. The most utilitarian spirit of this age could hardly desire to see them clothed with corn instead of the dark yew, the oak, heath, and fern, or trimmed into grassy slopes, pasturing sheep in place of the timid deer and rabbit. The Colquhouns acquired the lands of Luss, and certain of the islands from the Lennox family, in the fourteenth century and have since retained them, adding to the original estates many other pro- perties on the shores of Lochlomond, and adjacent to it, and at this date, the present Sir James Colquhoun, is one of the most extensive landholders in Scotland; many parts of his estates are daily increasing in value to an extent which, half a century since, would have been deemed fabulous. Eossdhu House, the beautiful residence of the Colquhoun family, stands close by the shore of the loch about a mile below Luss. An older castle stood here, part of the ruins of which are

100 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

still preserved, and lend considerable attractions to the view. One of the finest views of Lochlomond and the Ben, not so extensive as those alluded to, but, if possible more lovely, is obtainable from Rossdhu Bay. The Colquhoun family trace decent from a younger son of the old Earls of Lennox, who is said to have obtained a grant of the lands and barony of Colquhoun for military service, in the reign of Alexander II., in 1230-50. The names of the descendants of the first Colquhoun appear in a succession of charters from that period down to 1465 ; shortly after which. Sir John Colqu- houn, one of the most distinguished men of his age, obtained a grant of the lands of Kilmardinny, Koseneath, Strone, &c. Subsequent history connects the representative heads of the family with various feuds of the M'Farlanes and M'Gregors. These turbulent clans were at last, however, subdued, and ample compensation given to the Colquhouns for the injuries they had sustained by repeated plunderings and oppressions they had been the victims of. There have been many very distinguished men in the long succession traceable down- wards of this family, which occupies a prominent and hon- ourable position in Scottish history.

A little steamer, with holiday crowd on board, comes glid- ing across the lake — a white puff and a roar from the steam- pipe, a little bustle on deck, and it is moored to the pier at the end of the village; the bell rings. Fellow-traveller, who has rambled about so long with us, if as pleasantly to thee hitherto as to us, we rejoice — wilt shake hands, and step on board *? We could gladly accompany thee, but our holiday is ended, and our gossip must cease ; and as the moorings are loosened, and the pilot takes his stand at the wheel, with one last wave of the hand we bid you farewell.

EXCURSIONS. 101

EXCURSIONS.

It lias often been asked, "What short excursions from Helensburgh are within the compass of a day, and how can they be managed ? Probably the best reply to the question is to hand the inquirer a railway time-table ; but even this contains information only for those who know where to seek it, we may mention two or three routes which may be selected by the visitor. By taking the early steamer to Greenock, Rothesay and the Kyles of Bute can be visited, and return home effected in the evening of the same day. By the same steamer to Greenock, Lochgoilhead, Arden- tinny or Arrochar may be gained, and at the latter, the tourist may return by Lochlomond to Balloch, and thence home by^rail. By early train to Balloch, Lochlomond and its various points of interest may be seen and explored, and return effected in the evening. If, however, a visit to Ben- lomond is intended, the tourist should start in the afternoon to Balloch, take steamer to Rowardennan, and remain there over night, ascending the mountain before dawn, or he may proceed by Luss and take a small boat across the loch to Rowardennan on the opposite shore and return the same day. The view from Benlomond height at dawn is a thing never to be forgotten — seen later in the day, half its glories are lost. A pleasant excursion may also be made to Stirling by the Forth and Clyde Railway, allowing ample time to inspect this old Scottish town and return; or the Lake of Menteith, or any of the interesting spots on the line of this railway may be visited in the same way. lioch Katrine, by way of Lochlomond and part of the Trossachs, may also be been within the compass of the day; but it is doing injustice

to the noble scenery there to hurry through it in such a fashion. For the sketcher, who does not object to walk a mile or two, the Glens of Luss, Douglas, and Falloch are all accessible and worthy of a visit. They should be explored from the foot upwards. The highlands in the neighbour- hood are thus almost all accessible within the compass of a day. As for the more immediate walks and drives, these have been sufficiently discussed.

SKETCH OF THE GEOLOGY OF THE DISTRICT.

BY A MEMBER OF THE GLASGOW GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

Tlie western and north-western tracts of the county are composed of rocks that belong to the Silurian system, and are supposed to be equivalents of the fossiliferous Silurian rocks of the south of Scotland, and which exist in the north- west Highlands in a much higher crystalline or metamor- phosed condition than they are found in the southern tracts of this country. The principal varieties of these old crystal- line stratified rocks, found in this county, are rocks of a gneissage structure, passing into mica, chorite, talc, and clay slates, and which are sometimes associated with beds of quartz rock and crystalline limestone. These rocks often rise into hills of considerable altitude, and form the highest points of elevation in this part of the country. Their rugged peaks, wild radines, and coast sections, impress their features on the scenery over nearly every part of the west Highlands. They are often pierced or cut through by veins

SKETCH OF THE GEOLOGY OF THE DISTRICT. 103

or dikes of felstone porphyry and other intrusive igneous rocks, and in many parts of the district, (especially about Luss), the schistoze rocks are very much contorted and twisted. Crystals of quartz and other siliceous minerals, besides metallic ores, are occasionally found in this group of rocks. But no organic remains have yet been found; their absence is attributed to the highly metamorphosed condition of the rocks. If any organic remains originally existed in them, they seem all to have been destroyed. The red sand- stone of this country forms part of that belt of old red sand- stone which stretches across Scotland from sea to sea, along the whole front of the Grampians, and rests unconformably upon the older crystalline schists already noticed. It forms the whole of the rock along the coast between Helensburgh and Dumbarton, and also forms the tract of land which stretches up the valley of the Leven, the islands in the lower reaches of Lochlomond being also composed of it. Its prevailing colour is bright red, and it affords a good durable building stone in many localities. It belongs to what is termed the middle division of the old red sandstone, and in the west of Scotland it has yielded as yet few recognisable organic remains.

Resting conformable upon the old red sandstone, there occurs near Dumbarton, on the east side of the valley of Leven, an interesting group of thin bedded rocks, known to geologists as the Levenside limestones; they are composed of thin bands of nodular limestones, interstratiiied with a dark gray marly shale, which crumbles down rapidly on exposure to the weather. This formation is capped by beds of white coloured sandstone, which is overlaid by the trap rock which forms the higher parts of the Kilpatrick hills. The best sections of these thin bedded rocks are to be seen

104 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

in Auclienreocli glen, on the Levenside grounds, where they form very lofty eminences on each side of the glen, and pre- sent to the geologist some of the finest veins of stratification to be seen in this country side. The strata is traversed by several intrusive dykes of greenstone and felstone, which being harder then the surrounding beds, often stand up as natural walls across the glen. Between partings of the strata are to be found, at one or two points, some thin veins of a fine, white, crystallised gypsum, from which fine specimens are to be obtained. The limestones seem never to have been worked for any economic purposes, and the only organtic remains yet found in these beds are some ob- scure fragments of plants and scales of fishes, which occur in one of the gray sandstones near the base of the group. At present these beds are disputed among geologists, as to whether they belong to the |upper old red sandstones or to the lower coal series, fossil evidence being wanted to enable them to be linked to either group. The rocks which form the eastern part of the county of Dumbarton, belong to the Carboniferous system. The long ridge of the Kilpatrick hills bounds the coal-field to the north. This group of trap- pean heights, which terminate in Dumbarton Castle rock, and and the heights above Bowling, belong to that chain of trap hills of volcanic origin which run across Scotland from Ar- drossan on the south-west to near Montrose on the north- east. The Kilpatrick division of the range has long been famous among mineralogists for the fine series of zoolitic minerals found in veins, &c., of the rocks. In the Bowling quarry and the rocks of the Long Craigs, very fine specimens of Prehnite, Thomsonite, Stilbite, Newlandite, and other minerals of the same group are to be found, and are much sought after by collectors. The features impressed by these

BOTANY OP THE DISTRICT. 105

trap hills upon the surrounding scenery are often very fine, and in few localities do they lend such a charm as on the banks of our own noble river in the neighbourhood of Bow- ling, where the lofty and well-marked terraces X)i trap set high upon the hill-side are surrounded at their base by the natural watchtowers of Dumbarton and Dumbuck, and other small eminences, the whole imprinting such a charm, on the landscape that, when once seen in all its beauty, is not easily thereafter effaced from the memory.

BOTAI^Y OF HELElSrSBUEGH DISTBICT.

The district around Helensburgh, extending from Bowling Bay to Roseneath, abounds with the commoner plants, in- cluding some rare species. At Bowling, Turritis glabra occurs, along with the rare moss, Glyphomitrium Daviesii, found in 1842 and 1863. On Dumbarton Castle rock the following plants abound : — Smyrnium olusatrum, Carduus marianus, Malva sylvestris, M. moschata, Conium niacula- tum, Carex muricata, Poa maritima. Along the banks of the Clyde, Mimulus luteus is of frequent occurrence; it is a native of Chili, and has become naturalised within the last twenty years in different parts in Scotland. The most char- acteristic plant in the neighbourhood of Helensburgh, and on the banks of Gareloch, especially at the upper extremity, near Fernycarry, is Bartsia (Trixago) viscosa, a rare species in other parts of the country, but remarkably abundant here. Senecio saracenicus has been observed at the east end of Helensburgh, but was probably an escape from a garden. It has long been known to occupy a spot at Both well Bridge. Carum verticillatum, a rare plant in England, is common in the moist pastures and salt marshes from Bowling to Helens-

BOTANY OF THE DISTRICT. 107

, In Ardenconnel Glen, Hymenophyllum Wilsoni occurs amongst tlie ferns, the commoner species of which are abun- dant in the woods and valleys, viz. : —

Asplenium Adiantum nigrum

Trichomanes

- Filix-fcemina

Blechnum boreale Cystopteris fragilis Lastrea Filix-mas — Oroeopteris

Lastrea dilatata Polypodium vulgara

Phlegopteris

Dryopteris

Polystichum lobatum Scolopendrium vulgare

The two silver firs in Eoseneath woods are interesting botanical objects, each measuring about nineteen feet in cir- cumference. The Robinia Pseudo-acacia thrives indifferently in most parts of Scotland, but accommodates itself to the climate of this neighbourhood, where it flowers. The Wel- lingtonia gigantea (the mammoth tree of California) is also hardy in this quarter. As a proof of the mildness of the climate, it may be mentioned that in the memorable frost of December, 1860 — the most severe experienced in the present century — the Arancarius, Deodars, the Laurustinus, the Rhododendrons, and Laurels remained uninjured, although without protection, when plants of the same description perished almost universally in the upper parts of the Clyde valley, and in the interior of the country generally.

NOTES ON MOSSES AND LICHENS, (bY A COREESPONDENT.)

Those who are fond of collecting mosses and lichens will find not only a wide field in the district, but will, in the course of their researches, meet with many specimens of a rare and superior order, such as —

Glyph omitrum Daviesii Buxbaumia aphylla Orthotrichum rupestre Hypnuni stramineum (cum fruit)

Dydymodon flexuosus Aulacomnium palustre Spagnum recurvum.

108 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

These are all rare and very interesting species. The Glyphoniitrium aphylla grows on Trapean rocks. The Bux- baumia aphylla has never been obtained, we believe, near Bowling since Lyon's time ; and to our young lady collectors we may say generally, that they can fill their books, if they please with

greatly in demand as to occasion its extirpation in many

places along the Clyde coast. If our young friends, however,

will only travel as far as Lochranza, Arran, they will find

plenty of them under the rocks as you enter by the steamer

on the left hand side, from two or three inches to three or

four feet in height. They are also being cultivated in some

of the gardens at Helensburgh in great perfection.

ZOOLOGY OF THE DISTRICT, 109

ZOOLOGY OF THE DISTEICT.

The range of quadrupeds is comparatively limited, em- bracing only those common throughout the Highlands of Scotland, and no variety is abundant. The fox, badger, and polecat — found in considerable numbers some fifty years ago —are rapidly disappearing through the energetic efforts of the numerous gamekeepers, who wage a ceaseless war of ex- termination against them, and what is more to be deplored, against the rare and beautiful birds of prey, hawks, falcons, jays, kites and owls, once frequently to be met with. In a few years these will only have a traditionary existence. They will be exterminated to make room for larger families of grouse and partridge.

Of smaller birds there is considerable variety. The woods, moors, sea shoi-e, marshes, and fresh water lakes, each exhibit their peculiar tribes in more or less abundance.

Of the owl family three varieties are at least frequently to be found — the short-eared, the white, and tawny owl. The first frequents the neighbourhood of Lochlomond. The other two are seen and heard occasionally in Ardencaple woods, Rossdhu policies, and amongst the plantations bor- dering Glen Fruin and Luss Glen.

Of smaller birds the curlew is abundant on the hills in summer, and in flocks on the sea shore in winter. The golden plover, the ringed plover, and red shank, also breed on the hills above Helensburgh and Lochlomond, and gather in flocks on the sea shore in winter. In time of snow particularly, great numbers of the golden plover are observed seeking a resting place and food, where the ebb tide has left

tlie sea beach bare. Woodcock and snipe are at times abun- dant, and are said to breed frequently on the islands or in tbe neighbourhood of Lochlomond. By the pools on the Luss and upper reaches of the Fruin, and other tributaries of Lochlomond, the wild duck, teal, coot, and moor hen breed. On the Loch, and on the waters of the Frith oppo- site Cardross, flocks of these ducks congregate in winter, and along with them specimens of the pochard and golden eye, and other more rare varieties are frequently found, as also large groups of Barnacle which arrive later than the others, and do not leave for their remote breeding places till the month of April. The island of Inch Moan on Lochlomond, is a favourite breeding place for a variety of gulls, ducks, and aquatic birds, and for several months of the year is largely colonised by them. In and around Helensburgh, black- birds, thrushes, chaffinches, robins, and various tits are very common, and wherever there is a house with empty chim- neys or crevices in the eaves the starling is certain to take up his abode and discourse noisily from the roof. In the woods near Bannachra and on Garelochside, there are a good many bullfinches still exist. They are, however, kept down by prejudice of gardeners against them, taking the foim of fire-arms whenever opportunity occurs. The goldfinch — that most beautiful of our songsters, we have frequently seen on Garelochside, in the neighbourhood of Blairvadick. They are also met with in Camis-Eskan woods. The grey linnet, sisken, redpole, wagtail, and chaffinch, are distributed through the parishes of Row and Luss and breed in various places.

There is a heronry in Roseneath woods, and one or two in Lochlomond; and in Ardencaple woods and Roseneath are populous rookeries.

mentioned, but these the ornithologist will find for himself; and it is probable that many summer and winter varieties of winged visitors from foreign countries might be discovered by the keen eye of a naturalist in pursuit of his favourite study.

PASTIME AND SPORT.

While the district affords a wide field for the research of the botanist and the geologist, there is a class of our readers who seek recreation in other pastimes, and it is only fitting that a word or two should be devoted to their interests.

CRICKET.

Some years since by the munificence of Sir James Col- quhoun and several gentlemen resident in Helensburgh, several acres of ground were set apart in the east end of Helensburgh as play-ground. A charter to the land was granted to the magistrates, and it has been enclosed and laid off for cricket, quoits, and kindred games. It is much fre- quented in the summer season. It is open to all without charge, and the habitual players have formed various clubs, admission to any of which can be obtained on the easiest terms. We have as yet no distinguished cricketers, the game having been but recently introduced ; but the enthusiasm and zeal with which it is followed encourages a hope that a year or two hence some of the players will be able to dis- tinguish themselves in friendly competition with older clubs.

112 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

BOWLS.

The want of a good bowling-green was long a drawback to the cultivation of social and friendly intercourse amongst the gentlemen of the neighbourhood, which only the public news- room partially prevented total extinction of. By the inde- fatigable efforts of ex-Provost Drysdale and a few others a grant of land was obtained, and at a very great expense three admirable greens were formed. They are under the manage- ment of a club formed of subscribers. The greens are situated adjacent to the Luss Road, on the rising ground, and sur- rounded by shrubbery, form a favourite promenade in the summer season. To the attraction of the game, bands of in- strumental music are sometimes added, when the grounds are frequented by a very animated and gay assemblage of the fair sex.

CURLING.

Nor do the votaries of the " roaring game " lack a field for their wintry sport. There has been a curlers' club, includ- ing several crack players, in existence for many years. In very hard frost the mill-dams and Lochlomond itself are in requisition for a rink or two, but the club posseses a good pond adjacent to the public park, which a night's frost gene- rally suffices to produce sufficient surface of ice on to afford a game. For several weeks at a time during winter there is often continuous playing on it. An attempt has been made to secure a suitable spot for a larger sheet of ice for skaters which we hope will prove successful.

SHOOTING.

Game is usually preserved throughout the district, and

PASTIME AND SPORT. 113

consequently it is abundant. The lower grounds contain hares, pheasant, and partridge ; grouse and black game on the hills, and roe-deer in the woods are common. The shootings are to some extent let in the neighbourhood, but most of the proprietors reserve them in their own hands. There is a class of sportsmen, however, who devote their at- tention to the wild-duck and sea-fowl shooting, for which there is a fair field in the neighbourhood. At the approach of winter, flocks of golden plover, {Charadrius pluvialis,) red- shank, peewit, sand-piper, curlew, [Numenius arquata,) and other birds of the class of waders, leave the hills and collect on the sands about Ardmore and Cardross. Later, the mallard duck, (Anas boschas,) widgeon, [Mareca penelope,) and teal appear in order, and occasional flocks of barnacle, or brent geese, from their Norwegian homes, alight upon the shores. The ducks and geese feed chiefly during day on the marine grasses with which the long sandbanks are clad, and at night in the adjacent fields. There is also another species of duck, of which vast flocks sometimes appear in very in- tense frost, the Harelda glacialis, black on the back or cho- colate-coloured, and the rest of a dusky white or gray. It appears, however, to feed a good deal on fish, and is not esteemed of much culinary value, although probably aff'ord- ing in its pursuit as much sport as the other varieties. Wild geese used to visit the district, but of late years very few of them have been seen. Indeed, within the last twenty or thirty years, there has been a rapid and very decided diminution of the numbers of wild fowls on these shores; and many who earned a comfortable livelihood by shooting them during winter have been obliged to give up their calling. Various causes may contribute to this, but chiefly, we sus- pect, the increased trafiic on the liver and shores, and dis-

114 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

turbance to whicli the birds are subjected on their feeding grounds, so that they no longer lead that life of seclusion and quiet here which in other less busy regions it is possible they may enjoy. Still, wild-duck shooting is a common and popular pursuit in the winter months, on this part of the river and amongst its bays. There are numerous parties who earn a livelihood by it. We have heard of one man killing in the course of a winter, ducks to the value of £80 ; and not uncommonly the proceeds of a season amount to more than half that sum. It is by no means an easy task to obtain a shot at a flight of ducks, and requires a more thorough knowledge of the habits of this wary bird than seems at first necessary. The sportsman must make up his mind to fatigue, cold, and repeated disappointment if he would earn success. There are two methods of following them generally employed, which we will attempt to describe. The first is by sailing boat. A bright day with a smart breeze blowing is preferred. Armed with guns of larger calibre than are generally used on the moor, and using No. 1 shot, or B. B., the sportsman endeavours to manage his boat so as to keep the sun betwixt him and the birds. The lights thus prevents his approach being noticed so early as it would be were it behind him, and a sailing craft glides much more noiselessly and rapidly down upon the object than under oars. If he can get within ninety yards of the flock, success is almost certain. A few outer birds rise first, the others are alarmed and swim rapidly off", turning their heads every way, apparently planning the best mode of escape from danger ; suddenly a rustle of a multitude of wings, a rush of water, and the whole are under flight. Now is the moment. Fairly risen from the water, with out- spread pinions, the gunner draws upon them once or twice,

PASTIME AND SPORT. 115

as their distance may admit, and a successful shot shows half a dozen of them dropping with a helpless flap into their native element. The slain are immediately picked up and chase given to those only wounded, who oftentimes are diffi- cult to recover, and afford a long hunt before all are cap- tured. If not carefully watched from the very first, they disperse about by swimming and diving in various directions, and the pursuit soon becomes utterly hopeless. Few things require more careful watching than a wounded duck in the water.

The other, and perhaps more successful, mode of duck- shooting is followed by moonlight, at low tide, upon those banks where the birds feed. When the moon is full, or nearly so, with a gray sky overheard the sport may be pur- sued with some prospect of success, varying, of course, ac- cording to the knowledge and practice of the shooter. A blue sky is quite unsuitable, as, however near the birds may be, you cannot see them with the distinctness necessary to a fair shot. The mode of proceeding is. thus: — On arriving at the bank, the shooter selects a stone in a likely spot — the drier the more comfortable — squats down upon it, and in- vokes patience to his aid. If the ducks are in migratory mood — ^which they are not always — ^his reverie will be soon broken, and his congealing blood startled into circulation by the whistling of the teal, or the melodious quack of the mal- lard approaching him. Cocking his gun, and rapidly scanning the horizon, his eye catches sight of the birds. If they are only within doubtful range, an old hand will let them pass without risking a shot, knowing that in all pro- bability, they may return again more closely to him. If k fair shot offers, the birds are allowed to pass beyond the sitter, who should on no account fire at advancing birds, as

116 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

the chances against his killing any of them, no matter how near, are twenty to one. Once past, however, he selects a bird from the centre of the group, and fires. If they are anything compact, three, four, or five birds may fall. Now is the value of a good dog known. If the shooter rises to collect his birds, he will get the slain, but may have a weary and difficult chase after the wounded, and probably lose some of them in the dark. What is perhaps worse, the time he is dancing about he is scaring other fliglits of birds, and losing chances he may never again have. The rule seems to be, never to let him rise from his seat if he can avoid it, and the dog saves any necessity for running^after wounded birds; but if he have none, let him regain his post as soon as possible. If the night is favourable, the sport may be pursued as long as the shooter can endure the cold and the tide admits. When once the water flows to his knees it is time for him, at all hazards, to take himself ofi", and seek the shortest road to land. This sport is chiefly fol- lowed at Cardross and the bays at Hill Ardmore.

ANGLING.

We have already alluded to the deep sea fishing of the neighbourhood. It of course takes precedence, being fol- lowed not only as a recreation, but as a business by a con- siderable number of the population. To many anglers sea- fishing is the only form of angling they are devoted to or desire to follow ; and sea-fishing, although [despised by votaries of the higher branches of the sport, is by no means a contemptible amusement. Boats and lines are easily pro- curable ; for bait the log worm, or hairy worm found in the sand at low tide, mussels and other shellfish are used. The

PASTIME AND SPORT. 117

great secret of success rests not on the skill of the fishers so much as in a knowledge of the haunts of the fish at particular stages of the tide and in particular seasons. The only advice we can give on this head is, get a boatman who is practically a fisherman, or take one acquainted with the ground with you. Sea fish of all kinds have of late years been uncertain in their supply. There is neither the quantity nor varieties found that used to exist on these shores. To trawling on the banks during the spawning season, which has of late been greatly on the increase, has been generally attributed the extinction and disappearance of fish. But of cod, whiting, flounder, and lythe there is a fair supply; and very abun- dant during the spring and autumn months, particularly among shallow currents of the loch, is the sethe, a coarse- grained greenish-complexioned fish. Of these, great quan- tities are caught in the bays and about the currents of Rose- neath Ferry, in the evenings and mornings, with a bit of white feather dressed on a hook after the similitude of a fly. A bunch of hazel rods, numbering from ten to twenty, are projected from the stern of a small coble; beside them sits the fisher, while another rows the boat, over such ground as sport is expected from. The fish play a good deal on the surface, and thus serve to guide the sportsmen to the proper ground. The boat has thus the appearance of an animated spider, of unusual dimensions, traversing the water in eccen- tric courses. The fish are dragged in sans ceremonie as soon as possible when hooked — the only interest in the proceeding arises apparently from the quantity caught. They are gene- rally about the size of small herrings, though much larger specimens, sometimes weighing eight or nine pounds, are often killed ; but these patriarchs are seldom tricked by a feather — they require more substantial fare. The large sethe^ which

118 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

passes under tlie name of stenlock, large lythe and cod are taken in considerable quantities hj trolling with the sea- worm, (Phyllodoce laminosa.) These long unsightly worms are strung on a strong gut tackle, armed with three or four Limerick hooks, and trolled from a boat with a short line of fifteen or twenty feet. A better plan, however, is to moor the boat in the strong run of some current, where the water is not more than twelve feet deep, above such a tangled bed as these fish haunt, and allow the bait to play under the surface, by dipping the point of the rod two feet or so. Large quantities are sometimes then taken, particularly in the morning or evening, and we can assure you it is no mean sport to kill a ten or twelve pound lythe or cod with the rod in a strong current. The former fish especi- ally, fights hard and gives great play at times. During the greater part of the year there is a considerable sprink- ling of sea-trout to be found all along the shores of the loch- In some places they may be found with more certainty than at others, but in general they haunt the creeks and shore currents throughout it. They are never found in deep water but seem to prefer it of a range from two to seven or eight feet. Probably the small streams and springs that abound on the margin of the loch, conveying food to them, lead them to haunt the shallows chiefly. In the early part of the season, during February and March, they are often causht on shore -lines baited with the common earth-worm, or or sand-worm, for then the trout, recently descended from the fresh water after spawning, enjoys a voracious appetite, and refuses almost nothing at all edible. Later in the season they become more fastidious in their choice of food, aud refuse such vulgar fare. The favourite, and, indeed, almost only approved mode of trout-fishing in Gareloch, is by

PASTIME AND SPORT. 119

trolling from a boat. The baits used are tbe sand-eel, min- now, and sprat. Indeed, any kind of small fish, if at all clear in the colours is suitable. When there is a stiif breeze, from fifteen to twenty yards of line is sufficient ; but if the day be quiet, double this quantity is not too much ; the fur- ther you are from your bait the more chance of success. A stiffish rod and plenty of line are necessary, as the sea-trout, if anything large, fights fiercely after being hooked. In general it is a bad plan to land from the boat after hooking a fish, as you are almost sure to lose him amongst the tangle in shallow water; keep him rather in deep water, if pos- sible, and be sure to have a landing-net or gaff with you; either of these is absolutely indispensable. The trout caught in the loch, ranges from half a pound to six pounds, and sometimes heavier. On a good day from half-a-dozen are sometimes taken by a single rod; at other times the tempei-, patience, and resources of Piscator may be severely put to a test by not a single bite rewarding his diligence. It is said that the modern Yankee invention, the spoon bait, has proved very • attractive during the past season or two. One or two Helensburgh anglers are reported to have done great execution with it. but we cannot personally vouch for its effi.ciency, never having tried it, and would be rather indis- posed to forsake the minnow for any modern invention. If if you wish to enjoy a day's sport, your best way is to en- gage some one of the regular fishermen of the loch, to all of whom the best spots are known, and on whose candour you can safely rely. The sea-trout, notwithstanding the doubts vvdiich have been expressed on the subject, will also rise at a (iy on salt water. Whether they accept it as a fiy or some marine bait we cannot determine, but can vouch to their being frequently taken by a large iiy of gaudy complexion.

120 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

Almost all the streams and brooks in the neighbourhood contain trout. As the streams are small, however, their inhabitants seldom attain a respectable size, and only in the larger burns are worth the angler's attention. Beginning with fresh-water fishing —

Lochlomond commands our first notice. It is easily ac- cessible from Helensburgh, and contains not only plenty of fish, but a great variety of them, Salmon, sea-trout, brown trout, perch, roach, pike, and a peculiar fish called powan, a species of herring, abound in its waters. The fishing is held by a Club, who pay a sum yearly to Sir James Colqu- houn, who bought up the salmon fishings on the rivers Leven and Clyde, in order to allow free access of these fish to the loch. The right to angle on the loch and its tributaries is obtained by purchase of annual tickets, but we believe there is no restriction as regards the loch itself There are plenty of experienced boatmen to be had at Luss well acquainted with the best parts of the loch, though not to be indiscriminately recommended as fishermen, as any angler may experimentally satisfy himself Although the fish are abundant, the loch, from its extent and variety of ground feeding, affords uncertain sport. Tt is the fairest and most fickle of all Scotch lakes. Sometimes a very unpromising day is crowned with success; at other times a succession of promising days to the angler's eye end in weariness and vexa- tion. The months of April, May, and latter part of August and September are reckoned best. The flies used are infinite in variety, but the experienced on this lake seem to restrict themselves to three or four, regulating the size according to the state of the weather, &c.

1. Green Drake. — Body yellow mohair, ribbed with tinsel ; legs red, or ginger hackle ; wdng mottled mallard or teal.

' PASTIME AND SPORT. 121

2. Black Palmer. — Ribbed with silver twist on body of ostrich feather ; tail yellow tilk ; wing brown turkey feather.

3. Stone Fly. — Body mixed with yellow and brown mohair, yel- low towards the tail; wings, dark mottled feather of teal drake, mixed with blue jay feather.

4. M'Niven's Favourite. — Boddy reddish purple or mauve mohair, ribbed with white tinsel, red or black hackle, and light turkey feather wings.

5. Smith'' s Fly. — Body of alternate dark -blue, red and yellow mohair, yellow towards the tail, black hackle ; wings, teal drake or pheasant's tail.

6. Darh Fly. — Body black silk, ribbed with tinsel, and over with black hackle ; wing, light turkey cock ; tail, strand of speckled feathers.

7. Broion Fly. — Body fiery brown mohair and red hackle; wing, teal drake, speckled. This is often a deadly fly,

8. Green body of pigs wool and teal drake wing, and occasionally a perfectly white fly is found captivating.

These should be dressed on pretty large hooks. There are other popular flies used. An acquaintance with the loch will soon put the angler in possession of their qualities and ap- pearance.

It has been matter of surprise that the Club have not in- troduced char and greyling into the loch ; they could easily be imported and would thrive rapidly in it. Experiments aie now being made by Sir James Colquhoun, Bart., on a stream near Rossdhu policies, in the artificial propagation of salmon, the success of which is hopefully and earnestly looked forward to by many anglers.

The perch and pike fishing of the loch are very good, and not so precarious as the trout. Since the removal of the salmon nets, perch have increased very much, and may be found throughout almost all its waters.

The pike fishing is best along the south shore, from the termination of Eossdhu policies down to Belleretira. About the mouth of the river Fruin, and where this stream, at a former period, flowed into the loch, are several good and

H

122 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

favourite haunts of this tyrant of the lake. In the reedy channels behind the islands, near Luss shore, they are also found; but towards the head of the loch they are more abun- dant than at any other part. They are taken with spoon bait, par-tail, and minnow, but the best bait of all is a small silvery roach. An epicurean pike will dash at this when he spurns every other delicacy of the season. Pike are in season in the loch from August till January. In spring they are not worth taking. The powan was long considered peculiar to to Lochlomond, but there are other Highland lochs, chiefly in proximity to the sea, where it is found. It has many points of resemblance in common with the herring, and, indeed, as Lochlomond may have been subject to the same tidal in- fluence as the Clyde, at one period of its history, there is every reason to assume that the powan is the herring accli- matised to fresh water. Herring still ascend the Clyde occasionally, as far as Dumbarton Rock : we have seen them even higher. A very slight change of level, and that such change has taken place seems confirmed by traces of a former sea-margin along the shore of the Clyde, would carry flood tide up to Lochlomond, and thus introduce sea-fish into it. The powan, like the herring, seems to feed chiefly on minute larvse or zoophytes. It is not, or but rarely, taken with the rod, though formerly largely fished with the net. When well cooked, it is not a contemptible fish, and has often, in former times, passed current and probably still graces the Cockney tourist's breakfast table as Lochlomond trout. A good many salmon are found in the Loch from May onwards, but they are as a rule shy. To ensure suc- cess a strong breeze of south-west wind is necessary, and a knowledge of their favourite haunts. The flies used for sea trout are in general suitable.

PASTIME AND SPORT. 123

If you should be unfortunate enough, as often happens to the angler, to visit the loch on a day unsuitable for trout fishing, the next best thing to be done is to devote your attention to perch — a fair basket of these may be taken in ordinary circumstances with the small red worm or minnow, by fishing either from the shore or a boat. If you are conver- sant with the haunts of the fish, wherever the water is toler- ably deep, and the bottom weedy, you may almost calculate with certainty on finding perch, and if you find one, remem- ber the other branches of the family are not far distant. Perch fishing is best in morning and evening, but they may be taken at any period of the day. They are not fastidious.

The tributaries of the loch are the End rick, Falloch, Luss, Douglas, and Glen Fruin waters. The Endrick is the largest of these. It is easily accessible by railway, but, save late in the season, when the sea-trout ascend it, is almost worthless as a fishing stream. It has a traditionary excellence, but the trout seem to have been much thinned by night- poaching and netting. The only really good part of the stream is from Fintry to Balfron. Of the other streams, the Falloch is the best, and Luss Water next in order. The native trout in these streams are abundant, but not large. In autumn, considerable numbers of sea trout are found in them. The flies used for river-trout are chiefly dark, with a lightish wing of small size ; for sea-trout, yellow or red on No. 4 or 5 hook. Bait-fishing is pro- hibited by the rules of the Club, though apparently without any very good reason, as the verdict of most of the angling patriarchs frequenting these streams is, that the fish do not readily take the bait, save in very heavy floods. The chief reason given against it is the facility it afibrds to dishonest fishing in low clear streams with rake hooks amongst trouts

huddled together in the pools. Otherwise it seems unobjec- tionable.

All these streams and their tributaries, which generally abound in small trout, may be easily reached in an hour or two by rail or steamer, and most of them are within easy ing range.

There is also a small loch above Kahane, on the Gareloch, in which perch are very abundant.

These embrace the chief fishing localities in the district, and it will be hard if some of them do not yield to the visi- tor a fair amount of sport. If in haunting the loch's reedy shores, or the dancing, hurrying streams of the brook, and listening to their melody, and breathing the pure exhilarat- ing mountain air, you should be content even with a light pannier if you secure a share of the good gifts old Izaak en- dows angling with : — " Indeed, my friend, you will find angling to be like the virtue of humility, which has a calmness of spirit and a world of other blessings attending upon it."

THE COMET. THE FIRST STEAM BOAT IN BRITAIN. I8II

HENRY BELL. 125

HENRY BELL.

It seems to be only a fitting appendix to a Guide Book to Helensburgh to add a notice of one whose labours had given it much of the eminence it enjoys. Helensburgh and Henry Bell will ever be associated in the history of the industrial commerce of our land. It was not his birth place, but it was the field of his labours and the scene of his triumphs ; and the " mad innkeeper," as those who failed to understand him, called him, has stamped his name indelibly on the place. Henry Bell was born at Torphichen, in the neigh- bourhood of Linlithgow, in the year 1767, of humble parentage. He was first apprenticed to a stone mason. We afterwards find him working as a millwright, and after a short interval acquiring a measure of engineering knowledge with Mr. Inglis, at Bellshill, and more fully, when he was about 22 or 23 years of age, with the celebrated Sir John Bennie, of London. He never, however, obtained a thorough knowledge of mechanical science, and all through his subse- quent life com^plained of the disadvantage this defect placed him under. After leaving London, where his stay was com- paratively short, he entered into business in Glasgow with a Mr. Paterson, under the firm of Bell and Paterson, builders, and undertook and successfully completed several large and very important contracts. During this period his fertile mind seems to have run in engineering enterprises and projects.

About the end of last or beginning of the present century his thoughts were directed to the propulsion of vessels by steam. The subject was not entirely a new one, for it had received the attention of other scientific men, and various experiments had been made, all demonstrating its feasibility. But it had been abandoned by the earliest pioneers, and was even denounced by Watt and other eminent engineers as impracticable to any extent, when Bell took it up. In 1803, we find him bringing a scheme for steam navigation under notice of the Board of Admiralty, but with that wisdom and foresight which have eminently characterised this depart- ment of Government, they condemmed the scheme as purely

126 HELENSBUKGH GUIDE.

visionary. Indeed, it was twenty years later before the Government was educated into the belief that steam navigation was practicable, or if practicable, a prudent thing for a constitutional Government to recognise. Bell's plans, were, however, favourably received by the American Government, who exhibited an interest in them, as they have always done in projects affecting the commercial advantages of the country, and they availed themselves to some extent of his ideas. Hence we find steam navigation of the Ameri- can rivers almost cotemporaneous with our own.

About 1806, Bell settled at Helensburgh, where he built the Baths — now Queen's Hotel — to which numerous visitors were attracted by the conveniences it offered them, then rare at watering places, and by the celebrity of the host, whose name was already become a household word. Here he planned the first Clyde steamer, through many perplexities and anxieties, and had her built by Mr. John Wood, of Port-Glasgow, from whose dock the Comet was launched in in 1812. Here culminated the thoughts and energies of years, the skill and patience and perseverance and triumphs over difficulties, which with his imperfect engineering skill might have been held insurmountable.

At this late date, Avith an advanced mechanical skill, the difficulties of Henry Bell can hardly be understood or appre- ciated in the construction of this little pioneer of commerce and civilisation, which was mis-named the Comet, for its course has been steady and onward since. Coiipled with mechanical difficulties, and greatly increasing them were the limited resources of Bell, and a lack of skilled labour. The same battle which Palisy and Watt, and a host of others had to fight for years, encountered him at every step. Often times at his wit's end for want of funds, and as often unex- pectedly obtaining fresh supplies. Trying the patience and temper of his faithful and cheerful good wife oftentimes, and getting hold of her little stores, hoarded past to meet the the current expenses of the hotel, which were swept into the unsatisfying maw of the boat, to her dismay and chagrin, and almost wearying the good nature of friends willing to aid, — at length the gaol was reached, and Henry Bell was famous.

HENRY BELL. 127

The first Comet was about 40 feet long. Her paddles were about 18 inches broad by 12 deep, amd her tall funnel, which also did duty for a mast, ran up from the deck at an angle for some distance before ascending. Her engines were three horse-power. For a time she plied between Glasgow and Greenock, accomplishing the distance in about four hours when the tide was favourable. The interest she created was intense. Great crowds of people lined the shores from the Broomielaw downwards to witness her departure and arrival, but of the hundreds of wonder seekers, few recognised in her the advent of a revolution in the maratime enterprise of the world. Few comparatively even believed in the success of the little vessel itself, or regarded it with other feelings than they would have experienced had any marine monster made its appearance in the river. People were afraid of entering it, and regarded it with a degree of superstition and terror, and generally with aversion. In a foot note to Mr. Smile's. Life of Boulton and Watt, the fol- lowing illustrative anecdote is given : —

" The masters of small sailing crafts regarded the Comet with ap- prehension and dismay. The old Highland gabbert men were espe- cially hostile, denouncing the new vessel als being impelled by the " teevil's wun'." The story is told of the steamer one day coming up with a fly boat, tacking against the tide, when the crew began to jeer the skipper of the fly, calling upon him to come along with his lazy craft. "Get out o' ma sicht," he cried in reply; "I'm just gaun as it pleases the breath o' the Almichty, an I'll neer fash ma thoom how fast ye gang wi' your blasted reek."

Success, though delayed, did come. The Comet was after- wards lengthened 20 feet, and her engine power increased, and the British public began to appreciate the invention and avail themselves of it. The trips of the Comet were extended to Lochfine, and intermediate ports. In Lochfine, somewhere about Lochgilphead, the first Comet was wrecked. She was succeeded by another larger steamer of the same name, also wrecked off Gourock; but by this time the steam navigation of the Clyde was an accomplished fact. The reward of the application of skill and industry was not to Bell, however, who lay sufi'ering under ill health, and struggling with crippled resources, died comparatively poor, at the Baths Hotel, in 1830.

128 HELENSBURGH GUIDE.

In person, Mr Bell was about middle size, a stout-built, fresh-complexioned man, hearty and genial in his manner. His features were regular and expressive, impressing a stranger at a glance with a good opinion of him as a shrewd, pawky Scot, an impression which ten minutes' conversation stamped as sound. His general knowledge was extensive, and he had a peculiar aptitude for seizing the salient points of any new invention, and making himself master of the subject. He was a great talker, when excited by any favourite hobby, and nothing delighted him more than an intelligent listener, to whom he would descant all night on any of his multifarious plans and schemes. There were always some leading projects in view. The construction of a canal betwixt east and west Tarbet, in Lochfine, was a favourite one. He had also a scheme for the partial drainage of Lochlomond, and reclaimation of the land, about which he had an extensive correspondence with the Duke of Montrose, who did not receive it favourably. The in- troduction of water to Helensburgh from Glenfruin, he had also in view. The reclaimation of waste lands in Scotland, and even the Suez Canal, he discussed and urged its practicability despite the opinion of many eminent engineers. Of all his plans he was exceedingly sanguine, neither the indifference of others, the want of resources, partial failure, or any of the thousand embarassments that haunt projectors, daunted him. Whatever the failure or disappointment met, he was always hopeful of ultimate success. With a large measure of Watt's inventive faculty he possessed in a good degree the energy and knowledge of men which Watt's partner, Boulton, enjoyed. To the many doubts and disbelief of scientific and unscientific men, that steam vessels would never accomplish much. Bell's reply was always, "they will yet traverse the ocean," and his pro- phesy now being fulfilled, living men who heard it can verify.

The life of Bell is a study, and his energy, zeal and courage a model for young men of to-day.

Note. — The crew of the original Comet consisted of WilHam M'Kenzie, sometime teacher in Helensburgh afterwards, Robert Bain, master, an engineer, a pilot, and a fireman. The fare from Glasgow to Greenock was four shillings and three shilHngs, for first and second cabin, and it sailed from each port three times a week.
