No, That's right as it is Aileen. If it was Busbie Drive you wouldn't see the last house. There was/is a different building there at the top of Busbie Drive - it is/was set-back from the line of buildings from what I remember.
I've turned it around to show you how it would look if it was Busbie Drive. But at the top left would be the different building. I recall the Phillips family living their.

I was just tickled by Tom's emphasis, Milda, and imagining his frustration!

Re: BMD & Files 18 February 2009
It's come back to me. There were corresponding buildings at the top of both Kirkhall Drive and Busby Drive - at each end of Beggs Terrace. There is/was a passageway through at each end too, to Stanley Road. But what Tom posted is certainly Kirkhall Drive.
