IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Whyte Corner, Dumbarton Road, DUMBARTON, G82 2TR

The houses were built in the 1930s. See Image for a view from a different angle, and for further information.

This area of housing in Milton is called Whyte's Corner, and it was built in the 1930s (the name Whyte's Corner is given on street signs, but elsewhere it is often referred to as Whyte Corner). The raised portion of the wall has a faded inscription, from 1937, that records a commendation by the Saltire Society, and gives the name of the architect, J Weekes: Image See Image for a view of the same area from the other end. I have not come across any explanation of the name Whyte's Corner, but it perhaps refers to the Whytes who lived at Image; nearby Milton Brae led towards that house. For a long time, Barnhill was a seat of the Colquhoun family. However, see Image for evidence that Barnhill was occupied by a Miss Whyte in the 1930s, when these houses were built. See also Image

For context, see Image and Image The inscription is on the raised part of the wall that can be seen in front of the houses, and it reads as follows. "The design of these houses is commended by the Saltire Society May 1937 Architect J Weekes FRIBA"

Towards the hills, part of the Kipatrick Range.

Image looms in the background, and the road is called Milton Brae. The business based next to the substation sells BBQ huts, log cabins, and the like.

Running down from the Bowie Loch.

As shown in Image, there are some brick pillars at an entrance to Image The present picture shows the stonework on the one on the left, which bears the following text: "GEORGE V / AD 1910-1936". For the corresponding detail on the right pillar, see Image For reasons explained in the end-note, the stones on both pillars have twins in many other King George's Fields. See, for example, Image in Port Glasgow, a perfect match for the stone shown in the present photograph.
