The road through Ardoch
The road through Ardoch
Cardross lies about 1.5 kilometres ahead, along this road. The photograph was taken from near the start of a public footpath that leads to Levengrove Park, mostly along the shore: NS3676 : Start of the Ardoch to Levengrove right of way

Some of the houses of Ardoch are hidden behind the trees on the right. See NS3676 : The road through Ardoch for a view in the opposite direction.

The place-name occurs as Ardach in a 1512 charter of James IV [#3777, dated 3 November 1512, in RMS(*) volume 2]. The same charter also mentions "Cragend" (Craigend: see NS3875 : Chapel of Notre Dame Convent Dumbarton), and "le Leis", probably the Lies (pron. [liːz]): Netherlie, Overlie (or Over Lie of Ardoch), and Whiteleys (NS3876) – see Murray, "Old Cardross" (1880); the name is represented by the "Lee" that is shown at NS36657617 on the first-edition OS map, by nearby "Lebank" (now Leabank), and by the name of the present-day NS3676 : Lea Farm.
