Re: Gairbraid, Baillieston

[Robert Murray]

The 'Gairbraid' your looking for was in present day Bargeddie - a mile east of Baillieston - Dr. Dickson who lived in Baillieston served the wider district too.

I've only looked at the place names from the 1881 census [though from your information it must have existed in 1871] which places Gairbraid in Enumeration district No.10 - between Drumpark and Dykehead - which are also places in Bargeddie, at that time both were farms, in fact the former still is.
The Gairbraid name lives on as a Gairbraid Terrace in present day Bargeddie and if you look at this modern map you'll see it located off Dykehead Road but whether that was was the exact location of the old place is another matter.



I hope this helps.
