I thought that, about 11.00pm last night, I posted a dead cryptic clue for this:

Brian may live nearby...?

Cannae see that post, noo. :unsure:

I'd had very little to drink....

But I still agree with HSS:

Does this building have a couple of streets and a pub with the same name?

That's pretty cryptic Bluto. After the building is named I may have to ask for an explanation of your clue (and I know what the building is!) :)

I must admit to being lost until Bluto's clue appeared, which I'm surprised you didn't get Sonny (at least assuming I picked it up right).

I think Brian may have lived here too - was he lodging with Rodger, John & Fred at the time?

No Eddy I am still none the wiser! Hopefully all will be revealed later today.

PICTURE 104 is Tannahill's Cottage. B Listed. The Listed Building website mentions it was built in 1755 however local websites give the date as 1775. Take your pick. Now home of the local Burns and Tannahill Clubs.

Tannahill himself was featured in PICTURE 48 in this thread and there is more info about him around the pages of that image.

For a wee bit more info on the Cottage look at ...

I was brought up in the West End and loved walking past that wee Thatched Cottage. Not thatched now of course due to the high insurance costs after being burned down in 2003 and rebuilt with a slate roof.

Sorry, Forgot to mention it is located on QUEEN ST :)

I'd like to bring to your attention an exhibition which is on in the Museum that focuses on Paisley's river - The White Cart.

More info here .... http://www.paisley.o...ley-exhibition/

Not been yet myself but hope to visit it before the next home game.

Edit: typos
