Scottish Church - does anyone recognise it?.....

Post by dmh68 » Thu Jun 01, 2006 10:50 am

I have uploaded a copy of a photograph taken in 1955 of a church built in Scotland. Image is awaiting approval.

Does anyone recognise it? I think it would have been somewhere around the Glasgow area because it was built by my grandfather William MacLellan Smith who was a mason and lived in Glasgow at that time. Would love to know where it is.

Thanks!

This looks like the church I got spliced in :D
Later on I'll have a look at the wedding photos and let you know for sure.

Hi,

Can't check at home yet but I've had a look on the net and
it's Greyfriars Church, 305 Hallhill Road, Barlanark, Glasgow.
