Scotstoun


A map of the Clyde and Tweed basins
Robert Gordon, c. 1636 – 1652map image courtesy of NLS

Scotstoun is marked as a tower named Scorstoun, presumably a transcribing error, on Gordon’s mid-17th century map.

I have placed the location of the tower at Scotstoun House, built in the 18th century, pending further research.
