I lived in the 'bundy' as a teenager and the picture depicts Bridgend road not Bankend road, there was no Bankend road. I used to play in the army base as a youngster, we would enter the derelict site and play all day as soadjies or smash all the old HMV 78 vinyl records, they were very brittle in those days and would smash into a thousand pieces. I wish I had collected them instead as they would now be worth a small fortune.

the acronym description was made up to fit the term bundy, this was named after the bus clock used to keep track of the bus timings. There was also a bundy clock in Clydebank and Castlemilk, hence they too had Bundy gangs, (though not as notorious as the Pollok bundy).

I'm pretty sure there was a Bundy on Springburn Road on the wall at the foot of Balrayhill Road, beside Quin pub.
