I hope we get even more photos of the Kelvin here, it really is a beautiful river!

That's what i was wondering. Perhaps near the new Kelvindale station?

The school is still there. I believe it had a rooftop playgroud, the building has been scaffolded at the M8 gable-end for a few years now. Viceroy, the only other school I can think of in that area is Lambhill St secondary. To confirm, the school in Stanley St is undergoing refurbishment and is use...

When will your excellent looking site be complete?

I note the picture of the tunnel portal under the Kelvinbridge option isn't described in the section itself. Is this to be done?

I thought this building was now used by Social Work services - youth justice, adolescent mental health and such like?

Made my escape from the city centre at around 5pm - trains were packed shipping people out and the good old inner circle was suspended!

Edinburgh's cancelled as well now.

The west portal to the merkland st tunnel can be seen and the crow rd retail park hasn't been built

Yeah it should have stayed

Is that the Buchanan St tunnel portal on the right?

Yep, that's the fella. How would this compare in size to, say, the UGC cinema building or Red Road flats?

I was taking a look at various aeriel photos on the SCRAN site and there was one that i found particulalry intriguing. I know I can't post it here so I'll describe it (folk who have access to the site will be able to find the photo). It's a shot of the north end of Buchanan St overlooking the statio...
