Dumbuck or Drumback was a small old row of about three workers' houses.
Roy's Military Survey of 1747 - 55 shows Drumback as a small farm on the south side of Croy Hill.
Nearest neighbours were in the farm locally known as 'Aitkens', sometimes noted as Overcroy Farm (2) which is very confusing because the very old farm at the north end of the village is / was known as Overcroy Farm (1) and this can be easily traced back to the 16th Century map of Timothy Pont.
 
From the Kilsyth cemetery records we note the death of a six year old girl from Dumbuck, an Elizabeth Murray, on the second of February 1868,
Lair No. 206,  2/6d
 
Dumbuck was eventually demolished with the advance of Croy Quarry into Croy Hill.
 
Overcroy Farm(2) was occupied until the 1950's when the present Hillside "Square" and Croy Clinic were built.
 
Another feature of this area which has now gone was known as "Aitken's Brae".
This brae was located between Barbegs House (aka Pearson's) Avenue entrance and the local shops further north along Constarry Road.
The existence of the brae is recorded in one of our archive photos of the Corpus Christi procession. This brae, which peaked at the end of Overcroy Road, was levelled as part of a road improvement scheme.
 
The last families to live in the old farmhouse were the Reids and the MacFarlanes. Both families moved into local council houses.
