Mind you the search is somewhat time consuming but well worth the effort of the page by page by page exercise. On the above website click on search, then type in Glasgow Directory (no quotation marks). This then shows Slater's Classified Directory of a number of 'important English towns' ...no mention of Scotland!!! However clicking on this will bring up the Glasgow Directory, followed by Paisley, Johnstone, Greenock (before continuing with Isle of Man by the way folks!) Hope this helps, fortuneavenue@ hotmail ??? Moira
