Bowhill
Bowhill is one of the ABCD villages: Auchterderran, Bowhill, Cardenden and Dundonald. All were mining villages whose mines are no more. One local lad John Thomson, managed to make a name for himself as a goal keeper, eventually playing for Glasgow Celtic and for his country. It was during a football match at Ibrox on 5th September 1931, between Glasgow Rangers, that when diving for the ball he has accidentally kicked in the head and subsequently died of his injuries, he was 22 years old. Eighty years on from that fateful day his grave is still kept and visited by Celtic fans and curious cyclists.
