The Geils Memorial
This tall pointed memorial is in an enclosure that is so overgrown as to make its inscription inaccessible. However, the stone commemorates Captain John Edward Geils, laird of Dumbuck.
Because its front is obscured by vegetation, I have depicted the memorial separately from behind; the main discussion of the memorial, and of Captain J E Geils, who is named on it, may be found with that image: NS4673 : The Geils Memorial.
By mid-2016, the enclosure had been cleared, and the stones were, probably for the first time in decades, exposed to view: NS4673 : The Geils Memorial.
In the present picture, the houses in the background are on Thistle Neuk.

Old Kilpatrick Parish Church
The church was built in 1812 on more or less the same spot as its predecessor (the latter was a pre-Reformation church; it was of great age, although the precise period in which it was built is unknown).
