The Original 59er Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) I always preferred Burtons to John Colliers when you had to buy a suit and also I remember DER in Moss St, we rented our television from them for years - renting your TV - there were a number of companies like them (Radio Rentals etc). That's what you did back then! Also look at the number of people walking down the High Street, - it must have been the Glasgow Fair Saturday afternoon in July that it was taken.

Fricky-Troll Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Wow, did I start something there! I have always assumed it was Orchy Crescent in Foxbar, given he says: "I'm used to Glenfield road and spending my time down in Orchy" and the song was a throwback to his younger days, but I could stand corrected!!It is. He mentioned it in an interview which is available on YouTube I used to live in Lexwell Road and Orchy Crescent was at the end of our street overlooking the Red Rock canyon/ Witches dens & of course the golf course [emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slarti Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Is that near the little marble cross ? Don't be daft, the marble cross is below the town. North (where the idol is) is obviously above the town, have you never seen a map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
