"Once the lintel of Sir Bevis Bulmer's House at Glengonnar was till lately the following inscription (P.160)
"In Wanlock, Elwand, and Glengonnar I won my riches and my honour."
"In Spier moor in Glengonnar Water, in Clydesdale, Mr. Bulmer got store of gold, and there he built a very fair country house where he kept great hospitality. He purchased ground about it for cattle. By help of a water course, he got much straggling gold on the skirts of the hills and in the valleys, but none in solid places which kept him in great pomp, keeping open house to all comers, as is reported."(P.148) See Gold Scours (On the gold rocks of Great Britain and Ireland by J.
