Description
Earlier 19th century. Oval-shaped open bath of dressed and undressed sandstone with associated weir and waterfall. Roughly circular "Ruined Chapel" with low enclosing walls and higher wall to apse. Originally in gardens of Bonaly Tower (now in grounds of Boy Scout camp).
BATH: oval pool built into sloping ground with flat coping at rim. Fed from the Dean Burn with small weir upstream and valve mechanism controling the outflow. The burn flows in a channel around the side of the bath, with a waterfall below it.
"RUINED CHAPEL": paved circular area enclosed by low wall or "foundations". Slightly higher wall with decorative masonry at S end. Mid 20th century stone altar. The virtues expected of Boy Scouts are inscribed on stone plinths flanking apse.
