British Trolleybuses - Glasgow
Route 105 ran from Queens Cross in the City Centre to a terminus near Clarkston Station in the south of the City. The terminus was here on Mearns Road.
On the right is a typical Scottish tenement block. It is worth noting that these were not the preserve of working class areas; there were many of appropriate quality in middle class areas too.

The photograph was taken from near the busy roundabout at Clarkston Toll, about a week before the UK general election; as a result, throughout the area, there was scarcely an undecorated lamp post to be seen.

Clarkston Toll
This view on New Year's Day gives no indication of how busy this intersection is on a usual working day. The roundabout is at the end of Busby Road, the main shopping centre of Clarkston. The 2 roads leaving the far side of the roundabout lead to Paisley (left) and Glasgow (right).
