Craigends of the 20th Century a Renfrewshire estate remembered

I first went up on my own with my pal Paul from Cowal Drive, we were about 9 or 10, so it would be about 1970. I can't believe we wandered around the old manor house as most of the floorboards were rotten, with big drops below.

In the mid/early 70s a crowd of us would go through the tunnel with the pipe in the middle and dare one another to go through on our own without candles. We also used to shoot birds with air rifles, which I'm not proud of. Quite often we found old stone bottles in wee dumps near the manor.

Criminal that the site was destroyed.
