Hi Pal,
A bit dreich in Glasgow the day, even in the posh areas.
I took a few but unfortunately, the family that own the house were not in.
So was a bit limited in my endeavours.
Took about a dozen and am sorry that my photographic skills are not that great.
However, here is number 60 Glencairn added to the Gallery, I hope.
Davie.

Hi Elaine
Just back in the Mount Flo. flat.
Unfortunately I have left the other pics of Glencairn on the computer at home.
However, when cataloguing the “Men you know” caricatures from the Glasgow Newssheet, the Baillie, from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, came across this wee drawing of Titwood Bowling club.
Hopefully in the Gallery

The club is directly facing number 60.
Wonder if oany o’ your lot were members.
As an aside, the hoose would now cost over £300,000 in todays market.
Awrabest
Davie
