Bonhill and Alexandria St Andrew's Royal Arch Number 321

Bonhill and Alexandria St Andrew's Royal Arch Number 321 on the Roll of The Grand Lodge of Scotland in the Province of Dunbartonshire. The lodge was established in February 1826 and moved to its current premises in 1921 when the Ewing Gilmour Institute for girls became available. The construction of the building began in 1888, which was funded by William Ewing Gilmour, a noted Vale of Leven benefactor, who was a director of the United Turkey Red Company (UTR). It was originally The Institute for Working Girls. On completion in 1891 it was presented to the Scots Girls' Friendly Society. The architect was J A Campbell. During World War II the War Department commandeered the building to provide accommodation for some of those whose houses was bombed during the Clydebank blitz.

Looking up towards Pappert Hill

This footpath forms a part of Pappert Hill Community Woodlands, which contains over 2 miles of routes.

A stile on the footpath to Pappert Hill

This is the view seen when following the footpath uphill (see NS4180 : Gate and stile for a later picture from the other side). After crossing this stile, and a small stream that is just a few yards further on (NS4180 : Path crossing burn), the path crosses a large area of Nobleston Wood. However, there are many wide clearings in those woods, and the course of the footpath is out in the open all the way from here to Pappert Hill; see also: NS4180 : Footpath to Pappert Well.

Footpath to Pappert Well

After crossing a stile (NS4180 : A stile on the footpath to Pappert Hill) on the uphill journey, the path to NS4280 : Pappert Well runs through a wide clearing in the forest, as shown here. Near this point, the path divides: the route shown in the photograph leads to the Well (NS4280 : Pappert Well), while the other footpath leads directly to the summit of Pappert Hill.

Footpath from Pappert Hill

At this point, a footpath heading southwest from the summit of Pappert Hill veers WNW for a short distance (that section of the path is shown here) until it meets another footpath that leads southwest from Pappert Well. The two paths meet at the following location: NS4180 : Footpath to Pappert Well; from that point onwards, a single track leads down to Bonhill.

Gas pipeline marker in woodland

At this location, a line of these aerial markers crosses a woodland clearing, indicating the presence of a high-pressure gas pipeline. Their colour and design vary a great deal, depending on the type of pipeline and the company that owns it (see the end of this article). All such marker designs are intended to be as highly visible from the air as from the ground, thus aiding aerial inspection. The particular ones in my photograph indicate the course of an Ineos gas pipeline. The direction of view here is along the line of posts; another marker lies at the far edge of the clearing seen here, although it is too distant in this shot to be visible as anything more than a tiny orange spot. A year or so later, numbers had been added to the orange upper part of each marker, identifying their place in the sequence. For a selection of designs of oil and gas pipeline marker posts, see: SJ8215 : Oil Pipeline Marker – TL1284 : Pipeline Marker – SP5718 : Gas pipeline marker – SE0366 : Pipeline Marker – SU6483 : Oil pipeline marker – SJ5488 : High Pressure Pipeline Marker – SE6419 : West Cowick, Hag Lane, Oil Pipeline Marker – NT0777 : Pipeline marker – NJ7802 : Gas pipeline marker post – NZ3710 : Underground Gas Pipeline Marker – TA0870 : Field boundary with pipeline marker on the Yorkshire Wolds.

Forestry land north of Pappert Hill

On the western side of the hill, the lower slopes have been thinned out to create community woodland with footpaths (NS4079 : Pappert Well Community Woodlands), but this view through a clearing shows some of the typical afforestation that can be seen elsewhere in the area surrounding the hill. The most prominent distant peak, just left of centre on the skyline, is Ben Lomond (NN3602). In the middle distance, the snow-covered land between the trees and the distant mountains is the area around Knockour Hill (NS3985). On the skyline, the two broad low summits to the right of Ben Lomond are Beinn Uird (NS3998) and Beinn Bhreac (NS4296). To the left of Ben Lomond is the lopsided shape of Ben Vorlich (NN2912); between Ben Vorlich and the left shoulder of Ben Lomond, a distant sharp peak, that of Ben Lui (NN2626), can be seen at a distance of 30 miles. For the same view in milder conditions, see NS4280 : Forestry land north of Pappert Hill.
