In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Dawsholm like this:
Dalsholm or Dawsholm, a village in New Kilpatrick parish, SE Dumbartonshire, on the right bank of the Kelvin, 4¾ miles NW of Glasgow. It has a paper-mill and beautiful environs; and near it is an ancient artificial mound, the Courthill, supposed to have been a seat of feudal courts of justice.
