I used to live in Watson House and you are right about the purpose of that bank. It was to hide the public. I believe the original road (Dumbarton Road?) was the one that ran in front of the house, but they made that private and moved the public road south, behind the man-made bank.
thanks....the one to the south is the military road and tends to get thought of the first as Cambusbarron, Kippen and Gargunnock are then all in a line!
