That map (assuming it works) shows it's further along from Eglinton Toll. I don't know the area too well but I was interested to find out that there was a cinema there in the past.

Probably, but its a long story!
There's been a fence up for about a year since the owners tried to get it demolished as a dangerous building. Council said no. There's a planning application in to demolish it and put flats on the site and park behind; has been being considered for about 18 months now. Council have recently served a repairs notice on the owners (AS Homes); no sign yet of them actually acting on it.
The place is B-listed; you can see what it looks like inside nowadays here:

..cheers for the info mate. Just remembered there was an attempt to bulldoze another one, off of Cathcart road, was it at Bankhall street? Near the penny farthing? (sorry, my geography is decided by public houses!) Im sure they were trying to get planning permission last year, any updates?
Scheduled for demolition at present are the Capitol/Bombay in Ibrox and the Olympia in Bridgeton.
Interior pics of the latter are also here:

The Regal/ABC in Hamilton is also away this weekend. Pictures of destruction here. I missed the actual demolition of the facade, I think they did it on Saturday.
