Craigends of the 20th Century a Renfrewshire estate remembered

I always remember one particularly hot summer when it seemed like every child from Linwood was swimming in the Gryffe below the house. We used to sit under the Yew tree and tell scary stories about what would happen to Linwood if the Lion's head was ever knocked off.

I can't believe how quickly the house became a ruin and it's such a shame that it couldn't have been restored!
