My grandparents (mums mum and dad) lived in shields road and when we went for the weekend to stay(we lived in fife parents originally from glasgow) i remember my dad used to walk the dog around 10pm and would buy the sunday post and sunday mail from a newspaper seller at the pub at the corner of admiral street was this the old toll bar? or was it further down.
anyone remember the name of the pub on the corner of shields road/paisley road my grandparents held their golden wedding party there then we went back to the house to continue the party also what was the name of the pub opposite the kingston halls? it was beside an fish and chip shop alberts cafe was beside the fish shop.
only name ive found was red hackle but am sure this was a whisky brand the logo was a piper in full highland dress wearing a bear skin.

hope some can help

Hello researcher, the Old Toll Bar is on the corner of Admiral St / Paisley Rd,the pub on the corner of Shields Rd / Paisley Rd was the Crown Bar, the pub opposite the Kingston Halls was Fleck`s Bar sorry I can`t remember the name of the pub on Watt St although I remember it being there as a stand alone pub with the tenements above it demolished, was Val`s dairy not across the road and down a bit next to the barbers shop ?
