    84 years later and the Dunbar building and signage are still there!

    Yes, you see it driving around from Lochend Butterfly Way.

    It wasn't until I delivered down there for the first time, I realised why we had the old Dunbar end. 😁

    New houses have been built but Dunbar's' was still there up until a few months ago, unless there has been more development on the site?

    The building to the front at the left of James Dunbar was Redpath Engineering I think. It was unused by the time I was growing up in the 70's/80's, a few of us went in there a few times, back in the day when exploring derelict buildings was pretty easy.


    Surprised at how many people don't know how the Dunbar end got its name.

    Great photo btw.
