Carmelite Monastery
This photograph was taken from Image The name "Carmelite Monastery" is shown on the entrance gates, which are located only a short distance further up the road.
The building, which is also known as Garmoyle House, was built in 1890. It is home to Carmelite Nuns. According to their own website, "The Carmelite Nuns are part of the Roman Catholic Church, belonging to the world-wide Order of the Discalced Carmelites".
"Garmoyle Light-ship floats due south from the mansion, and after the particular place which gives its name to it I presume the house is named" [Donald MacLeod, "Dumbarton Ancient and Modern" (1893), Chapter XXXVII].
There is a photograph of the Garmoyle Lightship on page 98 of John F Riddell's "Clyde Navigation" (1979); the caption mentions that it was replaced by a buoy in 1905.
