Today we visited the library to investigate old maps and pictures of Giffnock from the past.
It was really interesting to see how land was used back in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Giffnock was a thriving farming and agricultural town with a sandstone quarry; producing sandstone for around the world.
We particularly enjoyed looking at old-fashioned handwriting on the old census’ and pictures on the iPads.
