Both covered over in the late 19th Century. Pictures of the Molendinar from a few years ago http://catchingphotons.co.uk/blog/miscellaneous/the-molendinar-burn/ I'm a really sad bästard so I find stuff like this fascinating. Glasgow truly is a magical, mysterious and deeply romantic city. Beat it Venice ! thata cool, love stuff like that. I'd be too much of a shitebag to go exploring like that though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Assume we disregard the parts if the city built & financed off the back if the slave trade ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Just now, Auchinyell Sox Change said: Assume we disregard the parts if the city built & financed off the back if the slave trade ? Discussed already. It is the great shame of the city. We don't walk away from that. Thing is though, I don't think your at all sincere about that. When you post about others being "left wing, refugee hugging terrorist sympathizer types" or your posting history of attacking immigrants (despite being one yourself), backward comments about women, outdated jokes about the Irish and gay people, claiming the British Empire was a force for good and even getting upset at Fiji wanting to remove the union rag from their own flag - it makes me very dubious that you actually care a jot about something like the slave trade.

Auchinyell Sox Change Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 You have a very good recall Almost as good as claiming Michael Foot wore a donkey jacket to fend off the cold ; in no way aligning himself with the miners. Che Guevara wore a beret to keep the spiders off his head if you indeed represent the new breed of Scotland fan ; then i am indeed glad am out of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't deny any of the things I said which is noticeable. You weren't sincere about your point on the slave trade, sad man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErsatzThistle Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Back on topic now .... Anyone know more about this ?

Orraloon Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I think it's a sad reflection of Weegie aspirations that the best thing about the city is what goes on underground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few old subway tunnels too, there is one that runs from the Central hotel to stay Enoch but as far as I know it's bricked over.

As we don't sing the sash anymore in the West Stand? I'm both glad you are out of it and glad we are far removed from the Scotland support of the past. We don't need bigots in our support.
