Queen Margaret Drive in Victorian  Days

I'm on the radio today, presenting a programme about the history of the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú's Glasgow H.Q. at Queen Margaret Drive. It was produced by Debbie McPhail who led me around the nooks and crannies of the building a few weeks ago and recorded my descriptions of the various rooms and secret courtyards.

We event ventured into the notorious basement area which was once used as a morgue in the days when the building housed a medical school. As we made our way along a tiled passage towards a huge wooden door, I explained to Debbie that this was the place where the bodies would be picked up a horse-drawn hearse.

Then I paused, gasped and with a quivering finger , pointed to something on the wall behind her. Debbie turned and let out the tiniest little scream. Then she turned back to look at my sniggering face.

If looks could kill!
