To help clarify the mid and West. The West Drumoyne Farm was in what became Pirie Park. Long after the farm was gone and the houses in Mallaig Road (always called the farm lane houses) and the High School was built it continued to be called Miller's Farm. I don't know if that was after the farmer who lived there or a previous farmer. My father always called it that and often recounted how he stood on the hill overlooking the farm watching the Clydebank blitz.

Had another look at the maps and it appears all three  sets of farms buildings were very close to one another. West was located around Mallaig Rd and Mid was around Arshiel Rd (next to Dysart for those of a certain age) and East on Drumoyne Rd at Aberlady Rd.

 West Drumoyne can be seen on this map
