Ghost sign, Larbert A sign has been painted on the gable end of this building in Muirhall Road. The building is named Gillespie Terrace. The sign is almost illegible, but could start with the name 'Gillespie' and the third word is 'grocer', so I suspect the terrace was named after a business that operated here.
