The author of our highly successful Old Milngavie book after many years gap now looks at the wee villages and settlements in the country areas around this douce Glasgow suburb. It wasn't all sylvan lanes and big country houses of the rich. At Carbeth in the 1930s the landowner allowed Glasgow “folk” to build weekend holiday huts with no mod cons except fresh air and at Craigend Castle there was a short-lived zoo in the 1950s which also boasted a road train and a miniature railway as well as lions and an elephant.
