Merchiston Insignia30 viewsThe Merchiston Family Crest! This marks the beginning of the boundaries where the old Merchiston House used to stand - a fairytale castle of a building which was unfortunately demolished to build the 70's prefab 'village' we are about to explore.
Trashing old and substantial buildings to assemble tat in its place is clearly nothing new then!

War163 viewsThe whole mural was too large to fit into a series of photo's (would have taken an hour to snap them all) but basically it depicted Crookston through the ages - from caveman to present day destruction.
