I have no idea if you come to this site and will read this, but I remember Ardenlea well as the childhood home of my school friend Jennifer Lawrie. This would have been in the 1960's and 1970's. I have long since lost touch with Jennifer, though I would  be absolutely delighted to know where she is and how she is doing.  Jennifer was an only child.  I remember that she and her parents moved to Bearsden from somewhere in Ayrshire.  I cannot remember her dad's name - possibly David - I  think he was a stockbroker or something in the city and her Mum was Betty/Elizabeth, a doctor.  I remember Aunt Sheena's name as the Australian relative. I have a vague sense of other Lawries in Bearsden who were my friend's aunts and of Muriel being an aunt. I loved the garden at Ardenlea.

It was interesting to see photos of the business.  I believe it evolved into quite a large department store.

Not sure if you still check in here, but my great grandfather and grandfather made up the McCulloch part of the business.
