Theres also a road which stretched from the top of Birgidale Rd in Castlemilk to the village of Carmunnock, but has now been blocked off at the Castlemilk end. I've no idea if any posts exist on this however, or if it was anything more than a farm track.

I know this road you mean. It used to run to a building that is just to the east of Carmunnock think it was a council depot of sorts though please don,t quote me on that.
Road got sealed at Castlemilk end in 81 i think. it had a branch that took you out in the middle of Carmunnock. was never much more than a track as i remember it

It's not Newlands, it's Auldhouse. That's Mossgeil Rd you can see down the wee lane! I live in the 'orrible broon flats at the top of the hill to the right. Great views over Glasgow from the Hillpark shops if anyone is interested.

Yep, also great views from any of the top floor flats on Hillark Drive as well.

It was only when I looked at a map the other night, trying to find a street in Carmunnock onto the Braes that I noticed it. The map showed it as a complete road so it must be an oldish map. I've certainly never noticed it in all the times I've been at the roundabout in Ardencraig Rd but then I've not exactly been looking for it.

The road you are all talking about is still there technically though now its really a lane. It was recently tarmaced by the council. It goes from the top of Birgidale road and comes out in Carmunock at Windlaw (drive?)Its surrounded by hedgerows and one side of it is owned by the farmer and the other side is council owned.
