A long-established pub in Glasgow has closed its doors for good.
The Kelvin Dock on Maryhill Road had originally shut on a temporary basis at the start at the year.
There had been a licensed premises on the site since 1848, run by coach proprietor and spirit dealer William Abbot.
The pub was named after a nearby dry dock on the Forth & Clyde Canal, which was constructed in 1790. It was last used for boat repair in 1962.

The Herald understands that the pub now faces demolition.
A Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO) was approved for 1794-1850 Maryhill Road in June 2022. The CPO is in partnership with Maryhill Housing Association, who will deliver mixed-tenure affordable housing on the site.
Whilst not included in the initial feasibility, The Herald understands that Maryhill Housing Association are undertaking a feasibility study of the site of the Kelvin Dock to be included in the final CPO proposal.
