      It seems to be taking a long time to get anything done, I will be revisiting again this year to see what progress if any has been made. Thanks for watching.

    The Scottish rail network is so very much better than the dirty, unreliable, expensive and goes nowhere service we have in East Anglia!!

    • @martinofscotland
      @martinofscotland Před 3 měsíci

      I hear people complain regularly about the English services. I also hear people complain about the Scottish network here as well, I commute every day by train in Scotland and find the service very reliable. Most of the trains are pretty new and in good condition as well. Thanks for watching!

      Yes, I lived in Scotland for seven years and it was often far easier to use the train than a car. EG Stansted airport 20 miles by car, 140 by train and 4 changes!!!@@martinofscotland

    Thank you Martin, I Had my appendix out at the RAI around 1965, sad to see this beautiful building go.

      Thanks Thomas, I have to agree it's sad to see it deteriorate year by year.

    This generation is full of cultural vandals for allowing this decay to happen on our watch.

    • @martinofscotland
      @martinofscotland Před 4 měsíci

      I think the neglect of these old buildings crosses several generations, across the country. Cheaper to let it get beyond repair then demolish and rebuild something else, probably flats...

    Amazing video Martin 👏👏👍. What a waste of a stunning property. Even a continuation of apartments conversion would be better than this..😢

    I can remember going into the RAI as it used to be called when i was about age 8 or 9 when i broke my arm, so that would have been in 1981-82 say. That was the only time i was ever in it, so i didnt get to see much of it. But it looked big when i see the old photos of it and then i rememberd the front of the hospital, and that looked big as i went in the main doors. But when they opend up the new RAH in 1989 i thought they had knocked down the whole of the old hospital as the main bit at the neilson rd end had been taken away. But i didnt know they had left alot of it still up further into the grounds behind where the main front bit was. I dont know why they left that bit up that we saw there?

    • @martinofscotland
      @martinofscotland Před 9 měsíci

      The 1970's bit at the entrance was the Accident & Emergency, I myself was there after breaking a leg as a kid. The wards facing Neilston Road where the original dispensary was are still there and are occupied as flats. The remaining section that joins onto the front is in pretty bad shape, in some respects I think its unrecoverable, I suspect it will be demolished and flats built in the remaining part. Another part of Paisley history allowed to slip away. Thanks for watching.
