The Spittal Housing Scheme was built in the early fifties to accommodate residents of the Burgh. The land it occupies was formerly that of Old Spittal Farm. The farm house and steadings stood roughly where the present Spittal Primary School now stand. As a child there, in the late fifties we had a splendid childhood with plenty of open space to play in, and access to the open countryside just a short walk away.
Fernhill of-course and most of Castlemilk were yet to come, but I remember when it was nothing but hills,woods,and Bluebells. Oh happy days. |
