Nia Roo. 1991.

This was the brain wave of the Grier family, once a well known and respected family in the Scottish Licensed Trade. The strange thing is that you still hear the name Grier popping up now and again in Glasgow pubs when you listen to the older generation reminiscing.

The name Nia Roo spelt backwards is Oor Ain, with Glaswegian’s this means Our Own pub.

To read more on the history of the Grier family, check back soon for our second book.

380 Nitshill Road, Glasgow. G53 7BW. Tel: 0141 881 1550.

The Cavendish. 1991.

James Lundie opened these premises in 1962. James was a well known south side publican having premises at the corner of Cavendish Street and Pollokshaws Road which were demolished in the Gorbals reconstruction program that saw many old pubs being flattened.

This old pub was called the Cavendish, when Mr Lundie moved to Nitshill Road in 1962 the name carried on living. This new enterprise consisted of massive public bars and a lounge much different from his old premises.
