That is a fantastic photo Mr Fjord.
Still haven't had time to see if any of mine turned out any good. Will hopefully post some tomorrow. |

Thankyou Mr Alex, I rekon it'd look a lot better without that empty Dalmarnock towerblock blotting the horizon. | ||

I noticed the black tarp appearing on parts of the building last night... is that coming down this weekend by any chance? |
||
| Alex Glass |
I wish I had time to read this earlier and I would have contacted someone to find out if it is this weekend that the multi is being demolished.
Mr Fjord on your picture it looks like we could almost name it "The Leaning Tower of Dalmarnock". It looks like it has a bit of a list to the right. |

I suspect it was Fjord who had the list...

The Briggait when it was open in 1988.
The pic is from the pilot episode of Rab C Nesbitt, Rab C Nesbitt's Seasonal Greet, which was shown on BBC Scotland around Christmas 1988. It was shown nationwide a year later, after the BBC had given the go-ahead for a full series. Some interesting notes from this show - the Nesbitts live in a different house, Mary is pregnant (we never hear of this again), Dodie is played by Alex Norton (he didn't reprise the role in the series - Ian McColl went on to play Dodie) and The Two Ways is referred to as 'Howdens.' Some cameos from Ricky Fulton, Russell Hunter, Jerry Sadowitz, Peter Capaldi and Viv Lumsden! James H |
