There is a second Whiteside in the Parish of Torthorwald, Dumfriesshire I don't know of any others in in D&G but with placenames like this I wouldn't be surprised if there are many more elsewhere in Scotland. I used to work in Bathgate and I'm sure there was a village called Whiteside near there. Sandy
