Old Photograph Soldiers Hotel Maryhill Barracks Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of the Soldiers Hotel by Maryhill Barracks in Glasgow, Scotland. The Soldiers' Hotel, where those on leave could entertain relatives, and public houses with names such as the Highland Light Infantry and the Elephant and Bugle gave Maryhill the feel of a garrison town. Maryhill Barracks became the depot of the Highland Light Infantry, City of Glasgow, regiment after the Childers Reforms of 1881. During the 1919 40 hours general strike in Glasgow, the soldiers at Maryhill Barracks were deemed to be unreliable and were confined to barracks while troops from elsewhere were brought in to re-impose order. It was in 1919 that Maryhill Barracks was used as a marshalling place for the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders before embarking for India.
