Shared description
Former site of rifle range (Carman)
According to page 84 of "Cardross: the village in days gone by" (Arthur F Jones, 1985), the 7th (Cardross) Company of the Dumbarton Volunteer Rifles came into being late in 1859, and, for their shooting competitions, "at first a field at Carman was used", before ground was secured near the shore at Cardross in 1864. It is not clear whether the "field at Carman" is the one shown here.
