Interesting Giok, thanks. The stream that David Wingate calls the Cochno is now known as the Greenside Burn, which flows out of Greenside Loch in the Kilpatrick Hills and enters the Clyde at Dalmuir. I used to go fishing there, it's about a quarter of a mile from where I used to live, in Hardgate (Duntocher)(Clydebank).

Incidentally, that part of the Kilpatrick Hills has many Cup and Ring Marked Stones as old as the Pyramids of Egypt.

Cochno Road separates Hardgate and Faifley, both areas of Clydebank.

Jack, re Cochnae, I can see where you're coming from but I don't think you're right! In my 20 years there, I never once heard Cochno called anything other than Cochno, not even by my own kids who had their fingers on the street pulse, nor by any of the members of Clydebank Athletic Club, of which, I'm proud to say, I was Secretary of for ten years. If I had a penny for every time I ran up or down Cochno Road, I'd be a rich man!

wr, what map did you get Cochnae from?                           

btw, drop me an email letting me know how things are in new venture
