There are three main locations for Drumglass and Cuilmuir.
The oldest is Drumglass Farm which is shown on Roy's Military Map of
1747 - 55 as "Dunglas"
 
Slightly later we have an old building on the site of the present Drumglass Cottages. Also here at this time are shown a "Lint Mill" (Flax) and "Spade Works" together with associated water supply dam.
 
With the coming of coal mining, the now well preserved Drumglass Row of houses was built to house the pit managers and other management personnel.
Soon after a school was built and this school is, thankfully, now well preserved as a private dwelling house.  For many years the workers row fell into serious disrepair but a local builder from the Rafferty family rebuilt the houses using all of the original beautiful yellow sandstone. This Rafferty family had lived in Drumglass from the early 1900's until the houses were condemned  and they had to move out in the later 1940's.
 
Cuilmuir OR Kilmuir Cottage.
A new bungalow has been built on the site of a much earlier building.  The old original cottage had been built to house the gamekeeper for this part of the Gartshore Estate and feint signs are still to be seen of the foundations of this old building. 
The last person to live here was a lovely old lady, Maggie Gillies, who moved in to the new houses in Smithstone Crescent, Croy in the 1930's. Maggie was like an unofficial Post Lady delivering pensions and local news to those who were housebound. The story of Maggie's WW1 marriage to Henry Babur is fascinating.
