END.
I was the landlord of Carrigan’s/Kirkhill Bar For about 10 years from 1985 until 1996.
When the building was renovated and the bar shut down the builders more or less gutted the place. You could stand in the middle of the bar and look up to the sky. I had the gantry and the counter coverup with plywood to protect them. when the work on the building was finished the area manager for the brewery said we could get opened quicky if we installed a plain ceiling but I insisted they reinstate the original even if we would be closed a bit longer. We did away with the bricked up windows and installed full height etched glass windows and got rid of the off sales and had a full walk around bar. Carrigan’s/ Kirkhill Bar is by far the best bar in Cambuslang by far.
Hi John, thank you for your comment, very interesting. Do you know anything of the pubs history. Cheers
