Kidston Park
The structure shown here was, before its whole upper part was removed, a bandstand. For later views in sunlight, see Image and Image
The park is on Image, which was once popularly known as Neddy's Point, after the Duke of Argyll's fisherman (see the footnote on page 111 of W C Maughan's 1897 "Annals of Garelochside"; page 12 of Donald MacLeod's 1883 book "Garelochside and Helensburgh" gives further anecdotal details about Neddy).
For the plaque that can be seen on the near side of the former bandstand, and for links to information about William Kidston of Ferniegair, after whom the park is named, see Image
The prominent background hill above the right-hand end of the former bandstand is Creachan Mòr (Image).
