Paterson Clock

This clock-monument is located in the center of the main street. It was placed there as a tribute to Dr. Alexander Paterson who practised in the town for over 50 years, using, where possible, homeopathic remedies and ancient Scottish culture. He was one of the medical lights, not only in the village, but also across the central belt of Scotland, having famous patients such as Robert Louis Stevenson, author of "Dr Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde" and "Treasure Island" (who in the latter used knowledge of the plants of Dr. Paterson. This illustrious doctor was also dedicated to serving the poor, which speaks volumes in his favor.
