Hi there those are the pictures that I mentioned previously.It´s really sad to see how the place finished up before being demolished.

Hi there,found a website with pictures of the old ND/St.Andrew´s and I was absolutely appalled at the deterioration of the interior of the halls of residence.The problem didn´t appear to be only damp and condensation but the place didn´t seem to be getting much maintenance.There are photographs of t...

That´s right it was called The Gowdie.What about The Burn Brae in Milngavie or was it Drumchapel?Is it still there?Another place which was really popular on a Sunday night was The Boulevard in Clydebank,the room upstairs had a disco and it was packed with Brian Ferry lookalikes with their wedge cuts...
