Summary
| Description |
English: The College Bow. This is the second oldest structure in Dumbarton (the oldest being Dumbarton Rock, a stronghold continuously occupied since at least 460AD; the third oldest structure, and oldest building, is "Glencairn's Greit House", built in 1623: 1068140).
The College Bow is a pointed stone arch, the only remnant of St Mary's Collegiate Church, which was founded in 1450 by Isabel (Isabella), countess of Lennox. The church stood on what is now the site of Dumbarton Central Railway Station (which is located just behind the photographer's position). The arch was probably part of the tower of the church. This archway has been moved more than once. In 1850, when the railway was built, it was moved to form a gateway for the Burgh Academy, further down College Street (the medieval Cross Vennel). It was moved again in 1907 to its present location, standing in front of Dumbarton's Municipal Buildings, a portion of which can be seen to the right of the photo. |
