Bin Tax? They can poke that idea - we're already paying it in our council tax. I'm just back from living in Ireland for a bit and the system there was no council tax but pay per use on bins.... 4euro for recycling bin and 8 euro for general waste bin. Each county has slightly different systems. What...

The last steamer that operated on Loch Katrine; I think it was the Sir Walter Scott - I think it was taken up in sections and assembled up there.

Anybody know when that Drumchapel gas explosion was ? About 1978-9 or thereabouts ? I'm pretty sure it happen on a Saturday morning as I was sitting on the floor watching the kids telly programmes at the time :) That would be about the right timeframe, but i seem to remember it being early evening ...

More coverage in today's Evening Times: Protesters claim under threat garage is unique Despite the AC talk of horses and carts, the original plans specifically call it a garage. There are archive photos of cars in individual lock-up spaces (have a look in Along Great Western Road if you've got a co...

I pass this building a few times a day and wonder why it stands alone in the building site/harbour development. Looks like it may have been a school but I can't see the tell tale 'Boys & Girls' signs on the stone. Any idea why it is saved ? Just curious you know. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/...

Posted this last night in the wrong forum....here goes again.... Did a wee search but didn't turn up what I was looking for - specifically: The Clydebank Co-op took over the Anniesland Co-op, whose building was (still is) in Crow Road North just slightly back from the Cross. I'd love to be able to f...

I think that tenement was owned by Frasers but I could be wrong (something rings a bell about Pettigrew and Stevens... think they may have been part of the Frasers group?? ) I remember it was Wood & Selby stores that occupied both sides of St Georges Rd at the cross - does that help? Annoyingly...

Thanks very much for posting that! See that white tenement, just left of centre at the top of the pic? My auntie lived there. I remember going there with my grannie when I was about 9 after my auntie had moved out to Knighstwood and just before the tenement was to be demolished and when we stepped i...

Dimairt,

thanks for those. I've seen that arial shot before. If only I could zoom in with high definition! If you could post the one after demolition, that would be great also.

why oh why did they see the need to demolish that tenement? Surely it could have been renovated? When you see the red bricked pices of lego that have replaced it, I wonder if they'll be standing after 40 years let alone 90! My family lived just around the corner from there in St. Peter's Street unti...
