Hi there this is my first post so lets hope its a good one. I have been carrying out a little bit of research into the TA units and their addresses in Glasgow. Below is a list for 1949, I think its complete but if anyone can add to it then great. Although I am amazed that the city had so many units. My question really is, are these premises extant. I would really like to see some photos if possible - can anyone help please? The only one I have photographed, is the old Bishopsbriggs balloon depot, in the early 1980s.
