Hi all, 94Drumover drive was my family home for 26 years.It was bought in 1957 by my dad and sold in 87,my parents then retiring to Australia.It was the manse for Barlinnie prison and had small stables in the back garden and accomodation for a ostler.I,ve met a few people who were married in our lounge room ,having been taken  from prison to be married.The manse for Parkhead Congregational church was across the road probably no 89.The reverend Dr Nelson Gray was living there when I was in my teens.I have been told that when Mary Stuart was going to the battle of Langside,she instructed her drummers to"" Drum over the hill "to let warn of her approach to Battlefield.No 68 was the first house built Hope this helps
