The Castles of Glasgow and the Clyde by Gordon W. Mason

This book offers coverage of Glasgow and the Clyde, from Glasgow in itself, to Lanarkshire, Strathkelvin, Dunbartonshire and Renfrew.
The most comprehensive work ever on the castles of this historically important area of Scotland. My search to find the site of the manor house at Cardross where Robert the Bruce died began thirty years ago. The site has still not been positively identified, but over 300 other castle sites have.
There is detailed coverage of the major sites in the area, such as Dumbarton, Craignethan and Bothwell. But there are also the other numerous fortified houses and castles of the area, both extant and long vanished. I have attempted to identify every castle site in the area. My careful research is reflected in the entries which provide as much detail as possible on each site, including family,local and national history, architecture, legends, ghosts, and visitor information.
Maps and detailed descriptions of the locations will assist your exploration of The City of Glasgow, Renfrewshire, The Lennox & East Dunbartonshire, North Lanarkshire, and South Lanarkshire.
