FANCY A FLAT BY THE RIVER?

What does this building remind you of? It looks so much like the old Ballantine’s distillery that it could be actually it – with windaes. The views from this spot overlooking the lawn at Riverside Parish Church include everything from the Long Crags to the River Leven, the Rock, Levengrove Park and the Renfrewshire Hills.

WALKING THE DOG …

This is Baxter, Linda Speir’s lucky dog who gets taken to the Long Crags for his walks. Baxter has become familiar with the hills, woods and undulating fields at the back of Garshake. So familiar that he thought it would be a good idea to tell others who could benefit from a good walk for their health’s sake.  Get out there and enjoy it, the hills are alive with the sound of fit men and women – and gorgeous wee dugs, of course.
