View from the churchyard:-

I was drawn to the churchyard as there was a Commonwealth War Graves sign on the gates. I found three graves.

I was over in the West twice recently and happened to pass through Cardross. (The locals pronounce the name with the emphasis on the first syllable.) The second time I stopped to photograph Cardross Golf Club’s Clubhouse as it’s in the deco style. My eldest brother used to play golf here in his young days.
From car park. Showing entrance and main building:-

The Art Deco style is evident here in the semi-circular canopy above the entrance. Note also the curved window behind facing the golf course itself and the flat roofs:-

Side view. You can see two semi-circular elements here plus more flat-roofs:-

The frontage onto the golf course itself has no fewer than four glazed curved elements:-
