Lennox Castle Hospital (ruin) The picture was taken from a stairway which takes you down to what was once a bowling green. The green is now heavily overgrown but the benches and square enclosure wall are still there to be seen. The hospital itself is in a ruinous state and looks as though it could collapse at any time.

Lennoxtown, Whitefield Dam Dug out and formed in the early nineteenth century to store water for the Lennox Mill Printworks. The pond is fed from a series of drains coming off the Campsies which eventually are channelled into a small canal which enters the pond from the north. The overflow leaves by a weir situated at the north east corner.
