I wrote to Glasgow City Council, Land
Services, 20 Cadogan Street, Glasgow G2 7AD.
giving my concern over the removal of the famous
Dassie Green gates and asked that they be given
some place of prominence in the grand renewal
project. I received a very nice reply from
Mr.Brian Swan, Design Engineer. GCC. ( see extract )
"Dear Mr.McArthur
Thank
you for your letter.....enclosing your website
photographs of the James Watt statue and the
Dassie Green gates detail. Your website
information has been extremely helpful....I
have given the Architectural Restoration Team
your website address.
We are planning to relocate the Dassie Green
Gates in a prominent location in the park to
retain this historical association........."
