Good to have your Wimseycal comment - for the full Red Herring (as opposed to your previous Rederring) experience, you would have to try St Cuthbert's Wanderers in the South of Scotland league, though with an advertised capacity of 848, their ground must be pretty basic.

I share your enthusiasm for the architecture of Glasgow, a city that does not always receive the credit it deserves, though I have never visited the Burrell collection - the Riverside Museum, the People's Palace and Kelvingrove being as near as I come to culture.

Clydebank, which suffered from a terrible attack during the Blitz, was without an SFL CLub until East Stirlingshire were moved there by their owners as ES Clydebank. They returned to the Falkirk area and a Clydebank club joined the league. They "folded" to allow a reformed Airdrie club to return to the league after financial problems.

The Junior club then assumed the mantle, but, without a ground of their own, shared at Yoker, and this season at Maryhill. They hope to return to Clydebank eventually - though possibly not before you retire!

Keep working on the Western Isles - it sounds a terrific idea.
