"Bowness is the capital port-town on the lake; if we adopt a dignified style, which the grandeur of the country naturally suggests. It is the great mart for fish, and charcoal; both which commodities are largely imported here; and carried by land into the country. It's harbour is crouded with vessels of various kinds; some of which are used merely as pleasure-boats in navigating the lake.- In one of these we embarked, and standing out to sea; made for the great island; which we were informed was a very interesting scene."

Bowness can lay claim to a considerable antiquity, it having been known as a town or village in Saxon times; and in the Melrose Chronicle it is mentioned as the place where, in 791, Eldred, a thane of that race, slew Elf and Edwin, the sons of Elfwald.
