ROSENEATH, a '''parish''', in the county of Dumbarton, 3 miles (W. by N.) from Helensburgh. By some writers the name of this place is said to be a modification of Ross-Neoth, descriptive of its form and original appearance as a bare and unwooded promontory. The parish is bounded on the east by the Gareloch, on the south by the Frith of Clyde, and on the west by Loch Long. The old church, situated about two miles from the southern boundary of the parish, and on the shore of the Gareloch, originally a cruciform structure dedicated to the Virgin Mary, having fallen into decay, was taken down in 1780, with the exception of the belfry, which has been preserved. The present church is a neat plain substantial structure, containing sufficient accommodation for the parishioners, but remarkable only for the beauty of its belfry. The members of the '''Free Church''' have a place of worship.Lewis, Samuel A., | ROSENEATH, a '''parish''', in the county of Dumbarton, 3 miles (W. by N.) from Helensburgh.
