Bandstand in Peel Glen Park
in Kirkintilloch The line of the Antonine Wall runs through the park. The bandstand and fountain was made in Kirkintilloch by
the Lion Foundry,
famous for its decorative ironwork. Donated
both to the people of Kirkintilloch in 1905. They
now stand as a memorial to the foundry, which closed in 1984. The
Park also has links to mediaeval times when a castle was built in the 13th century by the Comyn family. It guarded one of Scotland's first Burghs of Barony, a status accorded to Kirkintilloch in the year 1211. The name Kirkintilloch derives from Caerpentaloch- "Fort at the head of the ridge" The park affords views of the Campsie Fells |
