BONHILL, a '''parish''', in the county of Dumbarton, 3 miles (N.) from Dumbarton containing the villages of Alexandria, Dalvait, Damhead, and Mill of Haldane. The name of this parish was originally written Buchnall, afterwards Bulhill, and, at length, Bunnul; it is supposed to be a corruption of the Gaelic word Bogh n' uill, which signifies "the foot of the rivulet." The church, a plain structure, with a tower, was opened in 1836, and contains 1200 sittings: another church, on the General Assembly's Extension scheme, was opened in 1840; and the '''Relief Congregation''' and '''Independents''' have places of worship.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43423#s42 A Topographical Dictionary of Scotland]'' (1846), pp. 124-151.
