AN amateur historian is keen to record memories of a forgotten village that once stood on the borders of Clydebank.
Garscadden Village was a mining town built between Hardgate and Bearsden in the mid-19th century.
As mining ceased the residents slowly moved out as conditions there fell behind the times, with the last leaving between 1926 and 1927.
Drumchapel historian Eric Flack has always taken an interest in the lost village.
Eric told the Post: "Garscadden was a complete village at the top of Peel Glen Road.
"It was built in 1860 for people mining iron and coal in that area.
"And it had a population of about six-hundred and fifty - which was greater than Clydebank at one point." Eric is putting on a presentation about Garscadden Village at a meeting of the Clydebank Local History Society on Wednesday November 18 in Clydebank Town Hall at 7.30pm.
