Geocache Description:

Magnetic Nano cache on the footbridge towards to Scotway house which connects Partick to the Riverside Museum. 


There's been a lot of change on the riverfront in this part of Glasgow in recent years. From the construction of Glasgow Harbour to the new riverside museum. One of the things that always jumped out at me in this area was Scotway House. Like many other locals, i've often wondered why this fantastic old building has lain empty for so many years. 

UPDATE : 26th May 2016. It looks like there has been another fire in the building and the entire roof is destroyed now. :-(

UPDATE NUMBER 2

So, it appears there has been yet another fire, and now the whole building has had to be demolished. sad times

There are other nearby caches at the riverside museum, and this one can be a nice bonus if you are traveling there on foot. 

 

Some details on the building and plans for it can be found in this newspaper article

 

The bridge can be busy so stealth is required.
