I wonder how long it will be before the land is cleared to allow an extension of the Ferry Village development to take place....last time I was over in Renfrew the area around the ferry slip way was looking pretty rundown compared to the nice (urgh!!) shiny flats on the Kins Inch road

It doesn't actually look that big on the ground.

Fuzzy photos from my house in Blairdardie.

Even now from my vantage point in the Wyndford flats in Maryhill the very bright orange glow from the fire is very obvious the flames are very high. The thick smoke appears to be heading in an easterly direction over Scotstoun.
