tamthebam Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Another from the Bam Archives: Granddad (died before I was born, alas) was a veteran of Passchendaele. This is him in the Home Guard in WWII up in Banffshire. Take that Fritz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 This is from World War One. He was in the Gordon Highlanders so that might be a barracks in Aberdeen in the background. No idea why he's on a horse though, he was a Private not an Officer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Boyd was in it - just as well it was an attacking side as he'd be guaranteed to sell a goal, either through lazy defending or scoring an OG himself. We'd have to score 2 to have any chance of winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Moonster Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 The Cutty Sark in Dumbarton: Found this of Dumbarton Castle too: I am slightly doubting that this is Dumbarton Castle because I had no idea there was ever a bridge there. Did this go all the way across the Clyde to Langbank or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a bridge, there used to be a long jetty that stretched far enough out to reach the deep water channel of the Clyde. Dumbarton never took off as a cruise ship destination though, for some reason. At low tide, you can still see remnants of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea that was there, I've been down there at many a low tide too and never questioned it. When was it demolished, or was it just left to rot?

locheedfcno1 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Here's the Queen Mum, presumably stopping in at the Angus Thistle for a quick pint of gin before opening the Tay Road Bridge in 1966. Mind Grouchos had his shop about there. Angus hotel a blast from the past. Nice pic [emoji108] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Not as old as some, but this one of my favourite bits of Dumbarton folklore. This old biddy, probably still full of bingolust from the bingo hall just beyond the far background of this picture, decided to take a shortcut home via the pedestrian underpass. Nice of her to panic half way through, and stop, so that someone could record the event for posterity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
