Another Story from Castlemilk Childrens Home
I was also in castlemilk home with my brother and sister from the years 1963 or 4 until closing and then
went to craigdhu home with Matron Gillies.We were all split up and sent to different homes.
A lot of the castlemilk staff came to craigdhu - Jean Brennan , Peggy hetherington etc.
There was also a guy who would come round every second Wednesday to show movies
(remember him well and his name ) perv.He used to dress as a chauffeur.
He continued to come to Craigdhu  I'm sure a lot of the children remember him.

So it wasn't all fun . I remember the old sewing lady (Isa) she also came to Craigdhu with us .
I remember we all got dysentry and most of us were sent to Belvidere hospital .
A lot of kids at the one time. 
Meal times you would shout homeside dining room or isolation dining room as we were split into
2 groups. I was in Queen Mary room.

I remember the police coming as there was blood (I think ) spread round the front door (mystery) 
I remember the taxi rides to troon and getting the box of sweets , that continued for years .
I remember getting my nose held age about 5 and getting stew put into my mouth.
I remember won't mention any names here still remember her putting a nappy on me when I was about 5 . Some nice staff some monsters.
