I'm sure there must be a post on the old baths somewhere although I couldn't find it. If not here's a couple to start off with. Plenty of memories in these buildings.

Arlington Street Baths


Victoria Baths, West Nile Street

Here's an old bath I discovered in Dalmarnock... Christ help those swimmers at the Commonwealth Games diving in there. I'd award a gold medal just for paddling.

I'm glad you posted the picture of Drumchapel baths Robert mate .. there's something very fishy indeed happening there at the moment v.v. sauna refurbishment.

It all smells a bit of slow strangulation to me. I hope not but I've got a bad feeling ...

I remember when Bobby McGregor open the baths and we all queued for hours to get in. Heated swimming pool, what a difference from Whiteinch and Clydebank Baths
