Can anybody verify this? Barr and Stroud were a very famous Glasgow company who eventually moved to the Anniesland area [Crow Road, I think]. A number of years ago they moved again, to a new building opposite the Southern General Hospital. But I don't think they are called Barr and Stroud any more.
