Gareloch from above Shandon

The situation of Shandon Lodge is extremely beautiful and picturesque; it is within less than a quarter mile of the Gareloch, and is a most convenient situation for sea bathing, the beach being fine gravel. It is immediately opposite to Roseneath, of which it has a delightful view. It is two miles north of the Inn of Ardincaple, and four miles from Helensburgh, where there is a daily post and good markets, and to which a steam boat goes and returns every day to and from Glasgow. The roads in the neighbourhood are remarkably good.

For further particulars apply at Shandon Lodge; or to Mrs Drysdale, at Carron House, by Falkirk, or to Messrs Tait, Youngand Laurie, Park Place, Edinburgh.

  1. These views post date 1818. The Shandon House (st andrews school, in the foreground) has a false date on the building as note in some Architectural History books I have as reference.
