There are three of these small pyramids standing here in a car-parking area at the riverside, next to Bonhill Bridge; of these, only the one shown in this image bears a plaque (by 2015, the plaque had gone). Its text reads: "Bonhill Bridge erected by the County Council of Dunbarton was opened for traffic on 2nd July 1898. Convener of the County The Rt. Honble. Lord Overtoun. Chairman of the Road Board John Gilmour Esqr." Note that the plaque does not describe the existing (as of 2009) bridge (see Image), but, rather, its immediate predecessor. The white building visible through the trees, in the background, was (when this picture was taken) used by a dental practice.
