Clyde St west of Stockwell St. No.130 was more interesting than it seemed. September 1973
Rear of the warehouse at 130 Clyde St.In that year [1806] Allan Dreghorn's nephew and heir, Robert Dreghorn of Ruchill, better known as "Bob Dragon," and celebrated for his peculiarities of feature, person, and habits, took his life with his own hand within the walls of his town house. For that reason the mansion, which forms the back part of a furniture warehouse at No. 20 Great Clyde Street [later 130 Clyde St], was for many years reputed to be haunted—a sad sequel to the story of the brilliant craftsman and architect to whose genius the city owes the beauty of St. Andrew's Church.Regrettably I never made any effort to see inside the warehouse, to discover what might remain of the mansion. With the adjoining tenements it was swept away for the Carrick Quay development. May 1974
