2015 Auchentibber Road, corner of Sydes Brae (PV)
Pictured here in January 2015, whilst I was out walking the dog, is the corner of Auchentibber Road. To be more precise it’s the corner at the junction with Sydes Brae, the start of Parkneuk Road.
I stopped for a second to note how overgrown it now is, ivy on the trees, young woodland becoming more mature.
This exact spot used to be the site of the Auchentibber Inn, owned by JB Struthers. A picture of the old inn, taken from the same vantage point is shown below, photographed around 1908. How nice it would have been if the pub was still there today. Sunday lunch, a pint and watch the quoiting sports out the back field.
