Awkward bastard this one, houses have been built on the original vantage point, but I think this is close.

Another awkward one as the original location wasn't exact. I studied an old OS map to match up the farm buildings and am 95% sure

Anyone know what the second Parthenon-style building (the one now replaced by the hideous former BP building) in this photo was?

According to a 1913 OS map, it was the Union Church.

Thanks for that, GK & Voyageur.
Glad the Council got rid of those unsightly buildings to make way for today's shite.

Bothwell Circus, I like the sound of that. Pity they pissed it away with the M8

It actually survived the building of the M8, and was done away with sometime after. It would appear from the pic and the map that it was elevated above that other wee street.

what sort of date is that photo from?
Took me ages to work out what was going on!

Me too!
Then I realised where Dalian house would eventually be built!
It's funny to see the Bothwell St off ramp so 'exposed'
Excellent shot!

Its quite strange as well, looking at the old map, the way the streets around there break from the grid pattern (Bothwell Circus and the other one running diagonally) - its still pretty central.
