WOW! I spent ages sitting on the benches when there was a traffic island & a taxi rank there in the 80s & boozin in the bowling greens behind it before it was a 5-a-side fitbaw place. That was sooo informative! Nice one as usual. Magic!

The years I’ve passed the building and never knew. It does show we really don’t know what we see every day. Got to appreciate the detail and research these clips go into.

The Pearce building now on Gilmorehill, is reputed to be haunted. I wonder if it bought a former resident to its new location?

I was looking at Langside Hall on historic maps last week, and couldn’t work out why the building looked so much older than when it appeared on the map. This video answers that question!

Great video. The ornamental fountain at Glasgow Green is not the one that was at Langside Halls. Unfortunately, the one at the halls has disappeared. There are a few of these fountains dotted around the city.

I found that out shortly after I uploaded the video. I should have checked my source when I was making the video.

The Lion and Unicorn staircase in Professor's Square in the University is also part of the original building that was transported over.

Not Glasgow, but not far off. The Dreghorn and Perceton parish church was dismantled brick by brick and relocated to Japan in the early 2000s, it now operates as an upmarket wedding venue.

When the halls were moved there, it would be slap bang in the middle of Crossmyloof village. Crossmyloof School is at the top of Deanston Drive (now flats), and the CMY symbol is over the door on The Corona.
