Some say the Rolling Stones dined there in the 1960s.
Situated on Edinburgh Road, between Springboig and Carntyne, the Dalriada bar and hotel opened in the 1960s and was very much a product of its time.
This particular perk made the Dalriada very popular and it quickly forged a reputation as a great place to let your hair down. There was regular live music and the bar - famous as being the longest in Scotland at that time - and 500-capacity upstairs lounge were forever packed on weekends. The violence reach a crescendo when one drinker was brutally attacked in the lounge. This was the final straw for the Edinburgh Road howff and it closed down for good not long after.
One member said: "We lived in Springboig Road - not far from it. I used to love the name - has a ring to it."
