Old School House

Pay attention at the back, settle down and keep your eyes on your own work. The former Woodside School is no longer the responsibility of the School Board of Glasgow, but as The Old School House, it has kept a touch of the same flavour. A sign tells you that 'weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character', there are big sinks and old-fashioned tiles in the 'little boys' room' and, on the walls, there are framed photographs of the end-of-term play. But now the playground, with its great glass canopy, is a popular beer garden, the tottering piles of schoolbooks are part of the bar and the spacious interior attracts a lively crowd at all times - even after the bell has gone.
