Reader Comments for Milrig Road
I am doing some research on my family. My father's aunt, Kate Johnstone (Nee Smith) and her husband Joseph Johnstone lived at a house called Eskdale, Milrig Road, Rutherglen. Kate Johnstone died in 1942. I have photos of the house taken in the late 1930s and have found the house on Google Earth. I stayed in the house in 1939 as an infant.
I wonder what has happened to the house and who lives there now.
I found an extract from The Scotsman dated Monday 26 July 1937 which says that Joseph Johnstone J.P. of Eskdale, Milrig Road a retired coal-master left a personal estate of £24,618.
Mrs Johnstone was mentioned in the Hamilton Advertiser in September 1914 for organising 'gifts of comfort' for Territorial Troops during the 1st World War.
Joseph Johnson J.P. gave his address as Eskdale in 1929 and was listed in the Belfast News (11th march 1929) as being the chairman of Joseph Johnson & Boath Ltd and the Director of Manor Powis Coal Co Ltd.
In 1931 Joseph stood among 13 men who were charged with fraud in connection with Scottish Amalgamated Silks Ltd. The case received widespread press attention and was dubbed the "Silks Case".
A piece in the Dundee Evening Telegraph dated 17th February 1931 suggests the accused were sent to Duke Street prison after being charged at a court hearing in Glasgow.
An obituary in the Dundee evening Telegraph dated the 5th April 1937 says that two charges against him returned a verdict of "not proven" and "not guilty". The newspaper mentioned that Joseph died at Eskdale aged around 70.
The house seems to have lost its name since the 1940's and now is just a numbered property in Milrig Road.
There is a road nearby called Johnston Drive. Maybe in recognition of Joseph's long service to Rutherglen Town Council?
Hi David
I am very grateful to you for all the information you have discovered. We live in Oxford, but when this Coronavirus is over we plan to drive north to see some of the places where my family lived. First stop will be Glaisters Lodge, west of Dumfries, where Joseph Johnstone entertained shooting parties. (I have photos of my parents taken in the 1930s. I have found a photo of Glaisters on the web as it is now.
After Rutherglen we will drive north to Duthill near Boat of Garten where my father's father was born. (He moved to Liverpool in the late 19th century.
Thank you again for your interest.

The road is called Milrig Road because there used to be a large house called The Millrigs from 1860 to 1895. note that it was spelled with two Ls.
