Hello Maggie,

Have a look at this http://www.coldbackie.org.uk/watch/

Don't know if this is what you might be looking for but looks like a good site and the pictures are beautiful.

Regards,
Anne H

I've climbed to the top of the Watch Hill as a child - makes me feel quite homesick looking at it!

Hello Anne H &fmackay
thankyou for your replies to my message .
i have had a look at the site ( now need to get a map to see to see how far in relation to Old Kilpatrick the watch hill would be .)
What a beautifull area, though I'm sorry fmackay for bringing on the homesickness .
thanks to you both once again
kind regards
maggie

Watch Hill as given by Anne is over 250 miles by road from Old Kilpatrick, almost as far north as you can get on the British mainland.

Is this the same Watch Hill?

All thebest,
