Dear Lesley,
Oh, the company Rosneath Ltd. registered at 51 Kirkintilloch Road is my husband's company. People get confused about this one road which is Lenzie Road in Kirkintilloch, Kirkintilloch Road in Lenzie and becomes Auchinloch Road at Lenzie Station. There are 2 or 3 houses numbered 51, one in each section of the road! Particularly one in a range of houses next to the BP petrol station in Auchinloch Road. I can't think of linked houses that might be where your friend took you.
The photograph you attached is definitely our house, opposite Viewfield Road. It looks as if it was taken after the road outside was re-aligned in the 1930s and Rosneath lost a bit of its front garden along with the railings. Also there's a waste pipe at the front which must be from the wash hand basin in the little bedroom which I thought was put in around 1965. Next door is definitely screened by trees as they kept their front garden in the road re-alignment. On Google Streetview, you will probably have seen an old green Rover in the drive (that's about 4 cars ago!).
So we are talking about the same place, for sure. You really must come and visit us sometime, we would so love to have someone like you visit!
I'm away from home at the moment and don't have any current pics of the house on this laptop but I do have this old one from 1910 or so! Rosneath is the house fourth from right in the middle of the photo. Maybe that is some of your family in the road! I will send an up to date one in a day or two.
Can we move off here and on to email? Mine is *
Best regards
Isabel
