periodictabledancer Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 15 hours ago, Lone Striker said: The painted sign on the Black Bull reminds me of the old licensing law in Scotland relating to the serving of alcohol on Sundays. I think it was only bona fide travellers who could be served a drink - possibly only along with a meal, not sure - up until the late 60s or early 70s. Maybe even later. It was still the case in 78 or 79. We used to go to a hotel up by the American consulate (Royal Ter?) And we had to sign the visitors book. 🙄😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I’ve got the wrong angle here, but wasn’t there a shop called ‘Tools’ around there in the early 80’s? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray’s Tools. On the left just as you turned onto Dalry Road. They also had a shop on Morrison Street opposite where the conference centre is now.
