Jimmy, your making me homesick again.

I could go a few pints of Deuchars IPA at the Three Judges on Partick Cross or the Park Bar on Argyle Street, followed by a wee visit to the Uni Cafe for a fish supper.

you obviously know the judges, famous for its ale and the Uni cafe for its fish tea, only problem those seats in the cafe seem to be getting smaller!

Being somewhat local while a mature student at Glasgow Uni (1996-2000 and 2002-2003), I introduced students from all over the world to the Park Bar, The Judges, The Aragon (on Byres Road), The Uisgbeatha (on Woodlands Road) to name a few. The FCO never recognised my sterling diplomatic work entertaining Britain's visitors, and I even managed to fit in a couple of degrees in the process.

Great photos of the new Transport Museum. Hope I can get to visit sometime in the not too distant future.

great pubs in the west end, Peter, always a great buzz about Partick at the weekend. Uisgbeatha is now the Dram, remember it was owned by the same chap who had the Drovers in Inveranan after Ardlui, all the staff in both pubs were kilted. The Drovers, I believe is now owned by an Australian but they have retained their tartan image which is pure gold for the tourist trade up there

Aye, I've been at the Drovers a few times driving up towards Oban and Fort William. The guy who owned the Drovers and the Uisgbeatha was in the same class as one of my two best pals from Uddingston at Holy Cross High School in Hamilton back in the late 70's early 80's.

I know that a Duncan MacGregor was a previous owner and he sold it on to his nephew Drew who came from Uddingston. Drew must have sold it to the Australian about 10 years ago.
