Lour Road Medical Practice
Purpose-built premises for the Lour Road Group Practice. The houses behind it are on Rosebank Lane, which is parallel to Lour Road. ('Lour' is pronounced to rhyme with 'tour', not 'tower', unlike 'Aberlour' in Banffshire, which does rhyme with 'tower'.)

Don and Low Ltd
This is part of the premises of Don and Low, the predecessor of which, Don Brothers Buist and Co, was a major employer in Forfar. Life was regulated by the 'bummers', a siren which summoned the employees to work and signalled the end of the working day. Part of the factory is in the background. The buildings at Broadcroft, across the road from the factory, are fairly new, but the main factory was moved to a new site on the Glamis road, just outside the town. The original factory was used as the main offices of Angus Council for some years, but the Council also has built new offices off the Glamis Road, and Don's lies empty again. However the Broadcroft depot is still in daily use for warehousing and despatching the fabrics manufactured by the company.

Broadcroft Depot
This is part of the premises of Don and Low, the predecessor of which, Don Brothers Buist and Co, was a major employer in Forfar. Life was regulated by the 'bummers', a siren which summoned the employees to work and signalled the end of the working day. The factory was behind where this was taken from. The buildings at Broadcroft, across the road from the factory, are fairly new, but the main factory was moved to a new site on the Glamis road, just outside the town. The original factory was used as the main offices of Angus Council for some years, but the Council also has built new offices off the Glamis Road, and Don's lies empty again.
