Braidfauld history
Auchenshuggle
Auchenshuggle was a hamlet slightly to the north east, and was part of the Easterhill Estate. Easterhill House, erected as a country retreat by Glasgow merchants in the 19th century, has been demolished. Braidfauld Street was the terminus of the Number 9 tram.
Dalbeth
Dalbeth Estate was primarily a country retreat, but the owners worked the freestone and coal underneath. It is even said some local gold was found while, in the shallows of the Clyde large mussel-like bi-valves often provided serviceable pearls. Here Thomas Hopkirk established the prize collection of rare plants.
Govancroft Pottery 1911-1981
Govancroft Pottery was closed in 1981 after producing distinctive thistle shaped ware. A set of modern houses has taken their place, called “The Potteries”
Westthorn
Westthorn was the site of riots in the early 19th century. Thomas Harvie tried to cut off a right of way (from Dalmarnock to Carmyle) in 1819. The riots were put down by the Enniskillen Dragoons under the direction of the Sheriff.
