This may have been covered before, but I ran a search and came up with nothing. Is the stencilled “eye” on Dumbarton Road (opposite Woolworths under Partick bridge) an advert for Big Brother? Also, has anyone deciphered the meaning of the bizarre graffiti in the Botanics tunnel/platform? Tim.

Am I right in thinking that this 19th century bowling green is now the PC World/Officeworld carpark?

Using a bit of Timmy Magic, I've managed to find the MCG's website as archived by an Internet Snapshot resource. Unfortunately there are no photos, but the text is intact. http://web.archive.org/web/19981206130940/http://www.waverleyltd.co.uk/subway/ Who said I wasn't resourceful? Tim.

His case also led to the appeal system in Scots Law as prior to that particular miscarriage of justice, there...

I just got home and saw the tunnel. I also used to think it was a bridge.
Where does this tunnel emerge?

Timchilli: The Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway used to run underneath Hyndland station, there is a tunnel under the platform. If travelling westbound on the train, you might notice it out the left hand side window. I'll have a look on my way home from work. Is the tunnel visible before you a...

Re. the old Partick station. Remember the entrance was next to Woolworths on Dumbarton Rd. Yes, I noticed the old entrace the other day. It's rather narrow for such a busy interchange station. I realise that "access-chat" is not permitted on this forum, but is the entire site inaccessible? I've wal...
