Shandon
"SHANDON, hamlet on north side of Gareloch, 5 1/2 miles north-north-west
of Helensburgh, Dumbartonshire. It took its name, signifying 'old fort,' from an
ancient fortalice, now almost extinct; it has a post office, with money order and
telegraph departments, under Helensburgh, and a Free
church; and it is near the elegant modern mansions of Shandon Lodge and West
Shandon. Pop. 291."
