To keep up the quality I am posting a link to the Dams To Darnley website again but taking you directly to the page relating to Pollock Castle to follow on from thediscussionat the tail end of Part 1.
The following photos appear in the Guard report carried out on behalf of the Dams to Darnley Country Park Joint Committee.
There is a sespool down in the field from what is now called Parkhouse Nursing Home. This was the stables referred to by Jock previously. Red something cant remember the old name.
and the photo previously posted of Parkhouse garden all cut back

Wonderful Photos Alex
Those 2 plinths originally held gates on the Parkhouse Rd
roughly in line with the middle of the 2 bricked up windows,
The window on the right was the milking byre, left was the dairy room far left was a milk storage room.
This is looking far better than when i last saw the place.
The stables for the farm were further down the road in line with the new roundabout.
You can still see the road & rough ground of thier site on google maps. Parkmanor Ave cuts through it.
The Red House is the nursing home.
Hi Alex
This is the rear of the photos you took.
From left to right The byre (wall)
The dairy- the milk house.
Hopefully it has also been tidied up a bit since this photo was taken.
Guys... this is a great thread but to my eternal shame I think the only time I was ever in Nitshill was when a bit of stuff took me back to her flat after I had got off with her in the Savoy in the 80s...cant remember if it was a successful night or not cause I was pisxxed..will make a pilgrimage soon see if I can retrace my stepps..camera in hand
Don't think you will be able to remember any of it Kev but give it a try and let us know where you get lost
Will give you directions to the most interesting place for some photos if you don't manage to find the place where you were taken on that drunken night all those years ago
