Dunglass Monument
Looking west down the River Clyde at Bowling showing some marker buoys and the Henry Bell obelisk (right).
A stone obelisk erected in 1839 as a memorial to engineer Henry Bell stands within the grounds of Dunglass Castle, on the rocky promontory which projects from the north bank of the River Clyde. Henry Bell (1767-1830) designed the paddle steamer Comet, which launched in 1812 and provided the first regular steamship service on the Clyde. The obelisk is thought to have been erected by Edward Morris, friend and biographer of Bell, or by the Clyde Trustees (MacLeod 2007:188). Further monuments to Bell stand at the Rhu Churchyard (NS28SE 31.01), and on the esplanade, Helensburgh (NS28SE 109).
