Drumsagard Village has existed for the past 10 years, and I have lived here all of that time. When I moved it the area was like a ploughed field around me, and the cows lowed happily in the field right across the road. Originally planned to be 1200 houses, that number has risen steadily. However, Drumsagard is not without a soul. Every street is named after a tree, from Acacia Way to Walnut Place, you will find crescents, streets, wynds, ways, groves, places, avenues and even the boulevard ringing the village - each letter associated with an individual development.

Although it is an exclusively private area, there are houses here for most budgets, including appartments, terraced housing, semis, bungalows and detached houses of many sizes. The people who live here come from all professional groups and all trades. Builders, electicians, plumbers, taxi divers, solicitors, estate agents, shopkeepers, teachers, and the local GP all live in the village. Care has been taken to vary the style and mix of houses in each estate, as well as the size and shape of the streets. More of these in the pictures section.

Although it has taken a while (Drumsagard used to be just a collection of housing estates and playparks), we have our own local amenities, as well as good transport links with Glasgow, an excellent primary school and many other shops, pubs, clubs and churches all on its borders. More of this in the things to do section. 8 out of 10 of my nearest neighbours have been here since the houses were built 10 years ago - a testament to the security and peace of the area.
