On the left is the eastern boundary wall of Image Not far ahead, the name Kirkmichael appears on the signs. This is an old name, long pre-dating the name Helensburgh: for example, the lands of Kirkmichael Stirling were, in the middle of the fifteenth century, the subject of a dispute between William Stirling, Laird of Cadder, and Gilbert Stirling. Rather earlier, the Lennox Cartulary contains a charter confirming to Walter of Fosselane (Faslane) various lands, including those of "Keppach (Keppoch Image), de Culgrayane (Colgrain Image), de Camceskanys (Camis Eskan Image), de Kirkmychell, etc.", that had earlier been granted by Malcolm Earl of Lennox (d.1333) to Avileth* of Fosselane.
