"Glencairn", Rutherglen, was this a Care Home?

I've tried to find out about the SA in Rutherglen but can't find much about them at Glencairn,1 Lower Bourtree Drive, which was registered to them in 1940.  It might be worth contacting them at their main address  to see if they can help you :

I remember in the late 1960's my father taking his aunt to the Salvation Army Home in Rutherglen. She was impressed with the house but on leaving, saying to my father " you need not think I am going to live there"
Not really relevant to this discussion but just a funny story. The house was lovely, well equipped and good staff.

Thank you Morag.  I've come to the conclusion that it must have been a Home; initially it was because of what was on the death certificate that made me stop and think, when I saw "Matron" as the informant of death.  I thought Glencairn was the name of my relation's house but I guess it was the name of the Home.  It's great that members are piecing it all together for me.  Great site this. 
Cheers now
