Had a look at old maps earlier but couldn't find it but with the help of the list I've at least narrowed it based on the locations that all have the exact same refs.
There's nothing outside of this area with the same.

I think it may be easier if the names of people concerned were given to find them on census' as some place names were tiny hidden away courts/alleyways not always given names on many maps although the streets leading to those 'courts' would be mentioned.

Census records may give a better clue to the locality (hopefully) which may help to pin it down on at least one map surely?

I was thinking that too Annie. Looking at the "neighbours" can help narrow down a location. I often do this kind of search of English censuses.

I'm wondering, was the family surname Shanks?

A newspaper item in 1901 mentions a Patrick Gilmour in Douglas Land, Baillieston. Checking 1901 census, what seems likely to be the same chap is with family in Scott Street. Perhaps Douglas land ran off same.

Haha Skoosh, was a bit of a 'trek' round the houses to come up with the name 'Shanks' which may/may not be a possibility?

Nearby in Old Monkland/Coatbridge the local Big Family were the Douglas Family - see here for info on the Douglas Support estate http://www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/Places/douglas_support.htm  it may be that Douglas's Land has some connection to the Douglas Family.
