I totally agree with you Colin and we can't let this story get covered up or forgotten until solid answers are given. It is a criminal matter in my view.
I no longer live in Stirling, but I am both shocked and disgusted that the council has done this. The footage of them taking it down- what an absolute mess. I don't believe they will follow through on their plans to 'rebuild and restore' it, at best it'll be a cheap simplified version. I hope the people of Stirling make their voices heard, and care enough to follow up on this
There appears to be a worldwide movement to destroy all the previous era's beauty, so we only see modern, transhuman shapes and forget our harmonious past. They erase our history, one beauty at a time. When I look back only to the 1950s, I'm shocked how insidious the masonic movement has been in removing all the things that remind us of who we really are.
It was just a fine piece of Edwardian masonry. A handsome thing that added a great deal to the beauty and charm of its area. Anyway, congratulations to the Council who stand in the long tradition of Stirling Councils determined to destroy anything of remote aesthetic value in the town. The Baptist Church, The Station Hotel, Viewforth even (which was good of its type and finely landscaped). There is such a long list. And on the other side of the balance sheet such wonders as The Inner Relief Road, and "The Bridge to Nowhere". What a place.
colin i live in cornwall and dont know where this is but omg things like this anger me ....i did notice the cut at the bottom of the columb and was the crane just stabalizing the clock for removal or was it destroyed ..
wtf did i just watch omg they shouldnt of took that down ..probably cost them more taking it down then to fix it ..that clock needs to be accounted for as its history of that town ..
i love how big discusting organisations work ...wasnt it protected due to its age .....i always thought grade listed buildings was protected lol if i bought a grade listed building i couldnt fart on the exteria walls without getting into shit lol or am i being thick lol does the grade thing also work for monuments yup
It won't be restored as they destroyed it taking it down. What you may get is a facsimile of the clock. It will never be what was there before. As a listed monument Stirling council had a statutory duty to care for and keep it safe. This has been neglected over many years and the important thing to note is that they didn't bring in a specialist stone mason firm to carefully dismantle and catalogue the pieces, they brought in a demolition company! The chief executive of Stirling Council can make all sort of soothing speeches, hell I can say I have the moon in my shed. We know that's a lie as is the words coming from the gilded tower of the council exec office. He needs to go, either by falling on his sword or being forced out by public backlash. The council as a body corporate should be prosecuted for the destruction of this clock. They have committed an act of cultural vandalism, which had it been an ordinary member of the public would see them in front of the sheriff to face justice.
@@FATBOY692011 Masons pretend they like stone building etc - but in practice they are behind the wholesale destruction of our history. For each new 're-development' in the 1960s and 70s there was a row of masons voting in through.
i dont live there i live in cornwall but this post angred me so much i think its disgusting with what they have done i really hope ppl of stirling are getting together and acting on this to do something about there local council ffs it was a clock on sollid foundations how could it be deamed unsafe that a mason couldnt fix ...councils love putting usless shit in town centres also spend enough money on seats that stop homless ppl from sleeping on them ..@@FATBOY692011
Here’s one suggestion of how I think it should have been dismantled for restraining works .A 100ton mobile crane multiple straps an all sides of the four faces and corners and I mean multiple multiple straps and lift it slowly but straight upwards you’d have more chance of saving a lot more of that wonderful clock than that clown 🤡 did with his unknowable attempt of how to use that machine in a wreck less manner
They don't want to save it. Look at some old photos, and see their 'success'. Been going on since the World Fairs of the late 1800s, part of an invasion of our world.

I totally agree with with your point of view. Stirling Council have slowly killed the town
@@colinmcgregor1746 Every town is like this. Very sad. Watford, Lowestoft, even Cambridge and Canterbury.
It's an insidious invasion.
colin i live in cornwall and dont know where this is but omg things like this anger me ....i did notice the cut at the bottom of the columb and was the crane just stabalizing the clock for removal or was it destroyed ..
The digger pulled the whole thing down including the scaffolding. Stirling [ city] town is in central Scotland, ruined by by modern style planners
wtf did i just watch omg they shouldnt of took that down ..probably cost them more taking it down then to fix it ..that clock needs to be accounted for as its history of that town ..

another clump of histery destroyed ..i really do hope that council are doing a plan to restore it
