    Excellent stuff, Phil and a very sharp picture.
    Dunlop's buses were just a few years before my time, though there is a very good illustrated history of Dunlops included in The Western Story, written by Neil MacDonald, and published in hardback during the 1980's, as Dunlop's ultimately joined Western Scottish Motor Transport.
    Regional Director for Scotland for Clan Cunningham International, and a Scottish Armiger.

    Before my time too, I only remember Western. MacBraynes still had buses in my younger days though. Thanks for the pointer about The Western Story, I must have a look for it. There was a sad ending to the Dunlop buses story. Everything was left to his only daughter and she met a man who ran off with all the cash. Not the first time it has happened and I'm sure won't be the last.
