Clyde View, Milton
The house at the centre of the photograph is called Clyde View; it dates from 1888, and stands alongside the Milton Burn. To its left is what was once a school playground (Image); to its right is Image On the front of Clyde View, though too small to be clearly visible in this picture, is a carving that includes, as a small central detail, a raised arm, its hand holding a laurel wreath. This is the crest of Lord Overtoun, and its presence on the building suggests that this was formerly a lodge of Overtoun House; for further comments and links, see the last part of the description of a Image (Early OS mapping does not mark this building as a lodge, but that does not, in itself, mean that it was not one. A different building, about 160 metres further east along the main road, is labelled "lodge", but that building was a lodge for Auchentorlie House.) The small carving referred to above is, in this picture, right of centre; it is high up on the building, and is just below the apex of the roof, and above four window frames that are side-by-side. In addition, the date, "18 AD 88", appears just above the door.

Beside the Milton Burn
Image is to the photographer's left, flowing just behind and parallel to the fence. Much of the area ahead is now laid out as playing fields: Image Of the buildings visible ahead, the one furthest to the left occupies what was, in 1860, the site of a corn mill. At the same time, the Milton Printworks were behind (to the north of) that house, the scatter of buildings extending about 220 metres N—S. Bleaching and calico printing was established in Milton at the end of the eighteenth century; the work was mechanised in the mid-nineteenth century. In the second half of that century, paper manufacturing was carried on here. In 1860, the ruins of a cotton mill on the course of the Milton Burn were visible at about Image, beside the northern end of the printworks.
