I'd also like to see more photos  :)  and I'd love to know what they were up to in the second photo.   Rolled up trousers and Nicky Tams!!!!
Either dirty work where they didn't want the bottom of their trousers dirty  OR  they didn't want ''something'' going up the legs of their trousers  ;D .. Also the inscription on the second photo looks like they were a kind of team.  ''The Hardgates''.

I echo everyone Else's sentiments... More pictures please!

I wouldn't be surprised if some of my lot are in that picture - Stewarts. 
I have sent the link to my Uncle, maybe he will recognize some of the faces?  Fingers crossed.

Hi there, going through your posts we came across your photos: a little info for you, 5th from the left rear row is Alexander known as "Sanny" and rear row far right is Robert "Roger"(Delias father). the 1st group photo shows the Hardgate "Quoiting" club, a game where horseshoes are tossed at a stake, the group travelled and were successful throughout scotland. the 2nd photo is believed to have been taken at the "Knowes" at the old Hardgate hospital, "Roger" 2nd row in middle is the  only one we recognise, we are going to show photo to other family members and hopefully get back to you with more names etc, etc.
look forward to hearing from you

Hi

I am related to a Peter Gillan (or Gillon) and Anne Keenan married in Duntocher in about 1843.  They lived there (or Old Kilpatrick) till the 1860s when Anne died I think - later Clydebank.  They had several children: Thomas, John, Peter/Hugh twins, possibly another boy.  He later remarried and has 3 more children: Peter, Isabella plus another boy who were orphaned when he died in 1880s I think.

Where in Ireland are your Gillans from?

I'm interested in chatting with any Gillans from Glasgow or Ireland or anyone who is researching Irish/Scottish links.

Best Wishes
Finne
