A couple of photos next from 1967. A family celebration as the Scotts celebrate a christening. Sent in by Neil Scott, he told me, “Maisie Gardner with daughter Christine and grandson Jimmy age 4 years and Donald age 3 months at Auchinraith Terrace at Donalds christening 1967. The other photo is Donald’s christening at Auchinraith Terrace […]
Alex Rochead recently showed me this photo allegedly of Auchinraith junction. Wanting to double check its location, one evening, on the way back from work today, i did a scout-about for 5 minutes.

Pictured here in 1955 is Maisie Gardner and her neighbour Annie Brown outside Maisie’s home in Auchinraith Terrace, Springwells. It looks a find day to be sitting outside. Did you know the Gardner or Brown families at Auchinraith Terrace? Replies followed quickly on Social media: Lana Aitken Karen C Fleming is this not your old house ? […]
This photo was taken in Auchinraith Road in 1938. Pictured is Neil Scotts Granpa Gardner , his sister Mary and her daughter Kate. I was looking at 1936 maps to see if i could find this location. My best guess was that it was taken near the end of Auchinraith Road near Herbertson Street behind […]
