    Welcome to our community. Petrina.

    The lands of the old estates in central Scotland have slowly but steadily been eroded. I hope that you are successful in recording Blythswood's history.  I am confused between the Blythswood in Renfrewshire and that in the Glasgow city centre.

    I hope someone here can help with this research.

    Additional to Blythswood, the family also had links to Mains and to Souglas Support.  All have been eroded by modern development.

    Yours aye,

    William

    Thank you for that information about the book.

     

    Almost all of the colliery has disappeared, but evidence still exists.  Sadly no machinery or buildings remain to help tell the story.
