WOODBANK HOTEL HISTORY

It has been at the centre of much controversay in recent times, but my generation knew it as the Woodbank Hotel. In medieval times it was a tower house which stood in the Stuckrodger Estate. Curiously, given talk of “haunting”, the name is thought to have come from the Gaelic meaning “Hangman’s Hill”.

Jim McAloon, the Council’s Strategic Lead for Regeneration, said: “We have worked hard to market these varied sites and are pleased that developers see so much potential in buying in West Dumbartonshire. Each of these sites will be put to good use in our community, be that by the addition of new homes or through use for community activities. We will now move to finalise these sales.”
