Bonnington Pavilion, Category A listed building near Corra Linn falls, South Lanarkshire, Scotland
The two-story stone pavilion features large windows, rusticated quoins, and a pyramidal slate roof overlooking the Falls of Clyde water cascades.
Sir James Carmichael constructed this entertainment venue in 1708 as part of the Bonnington House estate, incorporating mirrors to reflect views of the waterfalls.
Notable visitors to the Falls of Clyde area included J.M.W. Turner, William Wordsworth, and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who drew inspiration for their works.
The structure requires stabilization work due to deteriorating timber lintels above windows, and temporary fencing restricts access for safety reasons.
The pavilion contained mirrors allowing women of high status to view the waterfalls indirectly, following social customs of the 18th century.
