had to curtail FRT as a long bus journey and two pints might play havoc with his bladder. We remaining six made our way to the top of Gilmour Hill along a wet, dismal and busy University Avenue into the Hunterian Museum. The Whistler collection entertained mildly. Sketches. etchings and half detailed life sized paintings. A quick turnaround the Macintosh rooms resulted in two slapped wrists as David and Ronnie were intent on touching the exhibits. Ian managed to get away without reprimand. 'Ye can take 'em nae where'. Watches were consulted and a dash through Kelvingrove Park, along Park Circus, along Renfrew Street got 5 of us to the Bus Station (Paul returned by train) just in time to catch the 3:55 to Kilmarnock.
