Craigends of the 20th Century a Renfrewshire estate remembered

As a child Craigends Manor was my playground. It was there I first started to learn about nature and the countryside. The old house was always a wonder to me along with the Stables and Garage area, I spent a lot of time in the walled orchard. Even though the Estate was run down and derelict the trees in the orchard were still bearing fruit. I can still smell those apples, plums and pears from my youth. 25th June 2008
