Erskine Estate

Born in Glasgow, but soon moved to Erskine estate whilst still very young, 5 or 6. I remember walking to school through the woods and country lanes to Bishopton. It was mostly country fields. Living with another family who had two daughters. Running through the corn fields and most of the kids then meeting by the massive tree at the top of main hill road...playing army games and my HQ was the old pig sty, haha. Yes forgot Morton Hall Pictures and walking home in the dark,the cartoons of crazy Mr Magoo, the charactor who was always losing his glasses and was blind without them...He was so funny, shame they never show them these days so the next generation of children could have a good laugh.

RE: RE: Erskine Estate

Very similar to my memories, I lived in the Veteran Cottages. My mother lived there from 1956 till she passed away this year. I also played in the pig sty and the old stables, regularly being chased away by the Colonel lol! One of my best memories were the pictures in the Morton Hall and the Day trips to Saltcoats etc.
