In the Peel Park, Kirkintilloch, there stands a fairly well preserved example of a medieval peel with a surrounding moat, possibly dating back to the 12th century. (It was accepted by early antiquaries, with almost complete unanimity, as a Roman fort: cf NS67SE 15)

A S Robertson 1973.

The Peel of Kirkintilloch may be presumed to be identical with Kirkintilloch Castle, stronghold of the Comyns.
