Earlier Houses: There is an earlier house of the Dennistouns, still extant, on the east side of Colgrain.

Built / Designed For: John Dennistoun

House & Family History: Edward, Prince of Wales, and Mrs. Simpson (who was a descendant of the Dennistoun family) supposedly stayed at Camis Eskan in the 1930s. During World War II the House was requisitioned by the government and used as a hospital for Polish Army casualties. In 1946 the Campbell family sold Camis Eskan to Dunbartonshire County Council, who used it for a hospital, initially for TB patients, and later as a geriatric hospital. Post World War II the grounds were used as a homeless camp. In 1979 a developer turned the house into eight flats, while simultaneously converting some of the outbuildings into three coach houses.
