The Grange - about 1914. On the left the sleeper fence along the railway cutting and in the distance the bridge taking Sandyhills Road over the railway line A Large house, which due to to its close proximity to the old Shettleston to Hamilton railway line, (the Glasgow city boundary for many years) was often referred to as the last house in Shettleston.
