Glen Gardens is a housing estate in Callander.
I work in Callander, went to high school etc there and it has always been houses.
There are some small bungalows near Glen Gardens that are council owned and used more for elderly residents but come under a different street name .

The Earl didn't actually own the buildings but could collect Fue duty ( as sort of tax ) for the land the property sat on and he owned, Which most of if not all Doune sat on.
Over the years a few properties have disappeared but these were mostly old houses.
Most of main street as you see now is as it was in the 1800's with maybe the odd building having a second level put on.
The West Kirk ( church was converted into 2 houses in 1961.
Don't know why i didn't think about it before. Just phoned my mother in law.
The West church manse is Byre Hill, The East church manse lies just on the outskirts of the village on the main road to Stirling . a wee bit confusing lol

Yes that is the church Dave.
Main street starts from the cross and runs east through village ( main road to Dunblane A820) Byre Hill is on junctions of Queen Street and Main Street near to Castle road. I have pics of gravestones and can send to you if I can figure out how lol.
I work for Stirling Council Roads Maintenance Service and just been up past Kilbryde today. I think the reason I couldn't find Glastry is because it is now 2 private houses.

If the Free church manse is the one I'm thinking of , it is now a private house called Byre Hill, which is a 30 second walk from my house. It was Manse for East Church in Doune ( the one with the graveyard). My parents were married in the manse in 1942. Wester Tarr farm I think I know. I used to go with a girl who lived in Lower Tarr farm.
Likely that Gows May be buried in Thornhill ,parish of Norrieston .

Hi Dave.
Unfortunately the cemetery at Kilbryde is small and not in great condition. A lot of the stones are either damaged or missing . But will try other sources .

I've looked for Glastry but can only find Nether Glastry and on an old map I found Upper Glastry but I think that is now a farm called Dalbrack.
