Old Photograph Garscadden Gates Scotland
Old photograph of Garscadden Gates in Drumchapel in Glasgow, Scotland. The Girnin' Gates, as they were known were built at the southern entrance to Garscadden House in 1789 for James Colquhoun, who was the laird of Garscadden. The Fleming family owned Garscadden Estate, in the 14th century, after which it fell heir to Sir Robert Erskine, and then to the Galbraiths in the 15th century. It was in 1664 that Archibald Colquhoun of Camstradden, near Luss by Loch Lomond, became it’s latest owner. In 1938 Garscadden House was acquired by Glasgow Corporation and evacuees were sent there during the Second World War. It was destroyed by fire in 1959.
