"COUPLORT, village on east side of Loch Long, 5 miles north-north-west of Cove, Dumbartonshire. It was the place where the Kibble Crystal Palace, now in Glasgow Botanic Garden, was originally erected; it now contains many residences of wealthy Glasgow merchants, and it underwent extension and acquired a pier in 1880."
