Remains of WATCH TOWER (Continued) Dumbowie/continued 022 [continued from page 25]
generally believed to be artificial, a belief which gains upon examining it from different sites. Opposite these supposed remains, on the west, there is another conical topped knowe on Dumbowie. The Name is of Gaelic origin evidently from Dun "the fortified hill" or "tower" & Buidhe, "Yellow", or the Yellow hill.
