I live in Giffnock, I was a Beaver Cub and a Scout, in the main ScoutHall in Giffnock. Surely, I had no unwittingly been a Scout in the very hall Hess surely visited?
The Church and Scouthall - http://www.giffnockurc.org.uk/ the scouthall is the building on the right and there is another behind it used for scouts and cubs too.
Doing some more research I have found the Scouthall:

I was never in that building but I know it well, not far from the local pub. Strange to think a small piece of history took place in that building.

Rudolf Hess was taken to the 28th Glasgow Scout Hall in Arthurlie Drive, Giffnock (The main Scout Hall in Giffnock) which was being used as a base by the Home Guard at the time, before being transferred elsewhere. The picture of the Church and hall is the one used by the 145th Scouts who were founded in 1942.
Incidentally - the 28th Scout Group is celebrating its 100th year this year. There's a chance to go into the Scout Hall on 11th February and look around if you're inclined!
