Bower of Wandel
German Text [type face to use on map]
"Upon one of these little eminences, in the South-west corner of this little territory and with its rocky base shelving into the Clyde, stands the Bower of Wandell, Little of it indeed now remains, nor does it appear from its outlines to have been of any great extent, though probably it was built with some attention to security. King James V., when tired of the cares of state and trammels of a court, is said to have pursued his favourite sport of deer stalking, among the once woody hills and glens of Hartside" (New Stat Act. [Statistical Account] P. 818)
