"Glencairn", Rutherglen, was this a Care Home?
« on: Sunday 07 June 20 21:00 BST (UK) »
Hi, just wondering if anyone can shed light on this for me.  My relation's death certificate had "Glencairn", Rutherglen as the place of death, and the informant of death was "Matron".  Many thanks in advance.
Gollach.

Hi and Welcome from me too  :)

As well as the football connection and a pub, there is a road named Glencairn Drive in Rutherglen .

Also, looking at the 1940 valuation rolls for Rutherglen, there is a house called Glencairn, owned  by the Salvation Army.  Could that be it? 

When did your aunt die?

This is 1 Lower Bowertree Drive on Google.

It looks as if it might have been rebuilt.

@Gadget, the stumps of the iron railings showing on the dyke where they were cut off for the war effort. High Burnside I see & the bourtree is the elder bush. Salvation Army sounds likely?

I didn't know that about bourtree=elder, Skoosh, and we planted a good few in our shelter belt. Is it a Highland name?

I don't think it's restricted to the Highlands there's a Bourtree Hill in Irvine.
