Bishop's Glen Fire Watcher's Post
Concrete hut base
Bishop's Glen fire watcher's post was sited in the forest to the west of Dunoon on the Cowal peninsula.
The post was abandoned, probably by the 1970s, and the only evidence now (2008) remaining on the site is the concrete platform that would have formed the base of the fire watcher's hut. The base is overgrown and moss covered.
Information received by email:
There was a small shed with windows all round which was used for firewatching in the fifties/early sixties. There was also a telephone line which led off, towards Innellan I think, as this was part of Corlarach Forest.
If it is the same place, it is on a small hill which gave a good all round view of the surrounding forest while the trees were small, and could be seen from many parts of the town.
