Did you know Cryston has it's own Poet Laureatte???
Walter Watson (1780-1854), lived and died in the village . Watson, son of a weaver, had a chequered life. He was principally a weaver but he spent time as a farm hand, a sawyer, three years soldiering, and working in a print work. He was for a time secretary of the local branch of the Weavers' Union. He married a local farmer's daughter and had a family of nine to support. He found he had the ability to pen rhymes in a simple manner and on topics known to his listeners. Some of these were later published, and some put to music. He became known as the "Poet Laureate" of Chryston, and his fame spread throughout the parish of Cadder. The granite obelisk which stands in Chryston Parish churchyard marks his birthplace, and his grave can be found in the lee of the church next the dividing wall.
The first coordinates will take you to Chryston Parish Church. At the east end of the cemetary lies a memorial stone. The date this was erected by subscription was ABCD.
Once you have noted these numbers walk eastwards on Main Street. Continue eastwards onto Graystone Manor. On the right hand side you will see a path dropping down, follow this path for about 400 meters towards Bedlay Manor (This is quite often muddy and can be slippy).
Bedlay Manor
You will see a carving on the wall to your right showing where the Bedley well used to be. Just after this you will see a flight of steps going up towards the grounds of the manor. On the ground, to the right of the bottom step is a stone with a grid carved on it. The grid is X squares top to bottom, and Y squares left to right.
