Skoosh,

I don't know if Whitestripe is still there, it may have changed its name in the intervening 100 years. According to the Wishaw 1893 directory, Whitestripe was occupied by Robert Russell, mineral manager.
In the same directory the firm of Loudon and Russell was listed as "Brick and Tile and Fireclay Manufacturers, Allanton, Morningside".

A good free site to check out is this http://www.scotek.net/home.htm
It has a good message board and old photographs. The guy who owns it is a Newmains man so he may know more about Whitestripe.

I like your definition of "Land", it makes sense.

Lodger.

Thanks Lodger, that looks an interesting site (the Body in the Bog etc') will go through it when I get a mo', somebody told me Whitestripe was now a pub. The Russell's (not keen on the demon drink) put up the cash for a church "Russell Memorial" and were inter-related to the other iron/steel barons in Lanarkshire, cheers...Skoosh.
Re' the "Lands" the High Streets in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling etc' were all laid out in this fashion, now much altered, but it can still be seen, as laid out, in the old Cumbernauld Village for example.

Whitestripe House was the convent on Bonkle Road.

The area Whitestripe was where Cryndledyke Cresc is ( The Honkey)

Thanks for that Deebel, I believe old man Russell would knock on the doors and tell his wayward tenants that the windows needed cleaning etc'.
