Just felt the need to voice my dissapointment at this year’s event. I understand the weather contributed to the low turnout but I sensed not much was organised anyway. No real sense of occasion, a lackluster countdown to ‘the bells’, barely audible music and kids pulling at the microphone with no aduly supervision. That was the only focus for the residents of Strathbungo and their guests this year in place of a fun gathering…..not good enough for a neighbourhood that prides itself on it’s unique character.Perhaps most telling that 5 days after the event, the notices asking cars to free up the parking spaces for the street party are still tied to the hedges, rain soaked, abandoned and obsolete………….just like the over-hyped ‘Bungo at the Bells’ Let’s see how long it takes the organisers to read this!
A request from Australia:
“My wife and I have discovered that an ancestor of mine James and Euphemia Wilson had a daughter Mary born in the Toll House, Strathbungo in 1867, a son James age 2 died there in the same year cause of death was written as “burning from soup 20 days”. Another daughter Jeanie was born at Stobbs Land, Strathbungo in 1868. On the 1871 census the family was still living at Stobbs Land and Euphemia was listed as a toll keeper. Can you tell me anything about a toll house in Strathbungo or Stobbs Land?
John Wilson

Here’s a genealogical request:
“I have traced my family to Strathbungo Village. Any information on the Mclachlan’s from 1793: Barbara Mclachlan had three children Daniel (1822), Catherine (1824) and Barbara (1834). Also where can I get or buy photos or books about the village? Would appreciate any info. Helen”

Strathbungo is playing a big part in this year’s Doors Open Day. Andrew Greg will be hosting his popular Strathbungo architecture walk. So if you missed it at Bungo In The Back Lanes, now is your chance.
For the first time he will also open his home, No 1 Moray Place, to the public. This is one of Strathbungo’s architectural gems and former home of Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson. You can see how the restoration is progressing and some of the original features Andrew has uncovered over the last few years.
The event starts at 3pm.
