Craigends of the 20th Century a Renfrewshire estate remembered

After WW2 Alec's father started renting the Craigends land north of the Gryfe. Not long in to his tenure, though, he upset Mrs Cuninghame by ploughing one of the fields to plant corn and potatoes. It appears lady preferred to look out on green fields, rather than brown ones! She claimed that - by ploughing this field - Mr Scott had broken the terms of his rent and threatened a lawsuit. Fortunately Mr Scott was able to find a document proving that the field had been ploughed a few months previous to WW2, therefore settling the dispute in his favour.
