Old Schoolhouse, Kirkintilloch (Dinwoodie)
« on: Wednesday 27 May 09 14:15 UTC (UK) »
Does anyone know if the old schoolhouse at Kirkintilloch still exists. My GG grandmother Janet Dinwoodie, died there in 1929. The address on the death cert is hard to read. It says..The Old Schoolhouse, then what appears to be 'Gailshore', Kirkintilloch. Does anyone know of anywhere in that area that sounds at all like Gailshore!
cheers

Hi Norma

There are some entries coming up in the 1901 census for 'Gartshore Old School House' Kirkintilloch.

Thanks for that. How do you look up addresses in the census? I didn't know you could do that!

Hi Norma, 

there isn't a lot online about this building but it still exists as a private house. it is on the B8048 Kirkintilloch/Waterside Road beside Easterton Farm. you could google for a satellite image using postcode G66 3TG. it is viewable on the old maps website in the same location 1864. william patrick library might have some more information or photographs of it. I drive past it every saturday when I take my daughter to swimming lessons.

Good Luck

Duncan

Hi Duncan,
Thank you so much for your interest. By chance I got a reply, via the museum, from their very helpful archivist at the WP library!
It is indeed the right place, part of the Gartshore Estate, then owned by Alexander Whitelaw, so mystery solved.
Thanks again for your help.
