I lived in Ledmore Drive, in one of the first houses built, from 1955 till 1970, when we moved to Dumbarton. Ive lived all over the world, mainly in Australia & USA, but living back in Ireland now. *I'll never forget what a great place Drumchapel was to grow up in, the wonderful kind & caring neighbours we had, and the GREAT St.Pius X school I attended.* ❤️🥰👏👏👏🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Was a bus conductor on the blue buses from Milngavie garage. Loved the runs to the Drum. Good people. Now an Aussie.

My Gran stayed at 10 Heathcot Avenue, the top flat right at the end of the taller building before you go round the corner to the old Drumry St Mary's Church of Scotland. What a fantastic view she had, she kept binoculars in the living room. Grandad stayed in 10 Linkwood Drive, he won best garden in Drumchapel. Happy days. Remember the Hills Hotel, Shoppers Paradise, Woolworths with the speckled wallpaper in black and lime. Oh to go back for a day.

Aye, lot of memories there. Remember the shopping centre in its heyday, complete with fountain, planted areas, underground toilets, and that big "Arndale Shopping Ventre" sculpture-thing...why did the centre fail? No lack of local population...? Was there last week, well to whats left, which isnt much.
