Scotway House, 165 Castlebank Street. The 1885 building was the former office of Meadowside Shipyard - built by D&W Henderson, who took over the yard from founders Tod and McGregor in 1862. Plans for the original royal yacht – the predecessor of the Britannia – and a number of high class liners were drawn up in the office.
The B-listed building out-lasted every single building in this image. By the turn of the millennium the building had become derelict, by 2015 it was in a dangerous condition. On the 20th May 2016 vandals gutted the building by setting it on fire. Weeks later it was demolished and confined to the history books forever.
