Gallowflat, an estate, with a mansion, in Rutherglen parish, Lanarkshire. It was acquired, in 1759, by Patrick Robertson, W.S., whose great-grandson, Francis Robertson-Reid (b. 1822; suc. 1866), holds 70 acres in the shire, valued at £4824 per annum. An ancient tumulus here was surrounded by a fosse, out of which a fish pond was formed in 1773, when a paved passage, 6 feet broad, was discovered leading up to the top of the tumulus.
