In the distance, the upper part of a couple of the high flats in Bellsmyre can be seen, just left of centre; for those, see Image The street name preserves the name of a farm that was located near this spot, and which was recorded on the first-edition OS map (c.1860) as Aitkenbarr, and on some later maps as "Aitken Barr".

Style and taste have changed, and such structures would be very much out of place here.

Stirling Road runs from left to right along the bottom of the image. The road leading uphill and then veering to the left is Bellsmyre Avenue. Just where it curves out of sight, Valeview Terrace branches off from it, to the left. The road leading off to the right (with a red car in it) is St Andrew's Brae.
