"We will transmit this place not only not less, but greater,
better and more
beautiful than it was transmitted to us" 4th
Century Citizens of Ancient Athens
Ok Athenians we aren't but over
the years Clydebank and the villages of Duntocher, Old Kilpatrick
and Bowling have seen big changes in the landscape, with the disappearance
of many of our buildings and streets. We have been left with what
some would say is an empty shell.
In October 2003 some liked minded
people, from various areas of interest, including agriculture, architecture,
business and the voluntary sector got together and decided that
even if things were going to vanish they wouldn't vanish without
being remembered and Clydebank Restoration Trust was born.
The trustees hope to ensure that
any changes to our architectural heritage would take into account
the effect of change on the local population and our environment
and bring to planners and builders attention the importance of good
architecture and how it can improve our town, villages and environment.
So, over the coming months and
years we hope to build a significant body of work which will go
some way to showing there is more to Clydebank than you were lead
to believe. Check

Original oath of the 4th
century Athenian City State:
We will never bring disgrace to this our city by any act of cowardice
. . .We will ever strive for the ideals and sacred things of the
city, both alone and with the many; We will ever revere and obey
the city's laws and do our best to incite a like respect and reverence...We
will unceasingly seek to quicken the sense of public duty; That
thus, in all these ways, we will transmit this city not only not
less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted
to us.
