Put an HMV on the right... and thats Braehead :)
I think most of these malls look the same since I'm not a shopping mall person (a mall rat?)
I think it was the 20 that ran from Braehead to Pollok, down the side of Hillington Park _________________ Now coming at you with 95% more significance, 1% less salt and virtually fat free!

I think I will need to take a trip there this week. Looks like it might be a good shopping centre  |

See what you mean Stu
However! Unlike Braehead it is impossible to see from one end to the other and it looks much better from the outside.
I will get some photos of the outside and post them later.

I am sure you will like it but just remember not all the shops are open yet but most will be open by Christmas. _________________ I had a dream today

That would be great Stu.
Can you try and get one over Priesthill if you pass over that way.
A bit like this would be good.

| See the 'Nitshill and Surrounding Areas' thread in Urban Adventures for some ground-level photos of Priesthill, taken around the same time as this aerial shot. |

Ronnie
The photo was used by someone on another place to show where they belived the site of the Victoria Mine was.
I think Neil may have proved this wrong.
I was up that way this morning and took some photos of the area and the view to Silverburn.
Will post them up later. _________________ I had a dream today

Thanks, Alex. I was trying to be funny about the waterworks, which look like a very Victorian garden folly or perhaps a ruined stately home. I appreciate your contributions bringing Nitshill into the range of topics we are discussing, partly because I lived there for a year, and partly because it is an often overlooked area of the city.
