Grahamston - Glasgows Lost Village.
Until the1870's there existed a village called Grahamston, just outside the (then) City Boundary, this was largely demolished yn the 1870's to allow the building of Glasgow Central Station, and now only two remnants of the village remain above gound level, these are the Grant Arms (near the Heilanman's Umbrella), and the the former Duncans building that is now the Charles Rennie Mackintosh Hotel.
The remainder of Grahamston now lies beneath Central Station and very few photographs exist.
Grahamston/s main street still exists (in part) directly beneath Platform 3 of Central Station.
