Isn't the death cell of the old Duke Street jail recreated in the fantastic Peoples' Palace? http://oldglasgow.tumblr.com/post/49871872460/the-north-gaol-prisons-are-a-wonderful-place-to And for anyone interested in social history, the Peoples Palace is a real gold mine, by the way.

Dear Jim,

People Palace, brilliant, but your Duke St reference reminded me of the wee chat I had in the Pub yesterday.

It is no urban myth, it really happened.

I was born in Rottenrow, some years after the events in the link I hasten to add, in the old (now closed) Maternity Hospital.
