MEMORIES Canon Sydney McEwan I first visited the Baths on a number of occasions as a guest before the war. Then during during the war when I was at the Cathedral in Glasgow I joined - proposed I recall by John Grant.
To me the Baths was a lovely place - a haven of peace and tranquility in which I never heard a harsh word spoken. When I left Glasgow to work as a parish priest in Lochgilphead I retained a country membership and always looked forward to my visits to what was always referrred to as "The Baths", for when one said "The Baths" it was always accepted that one meant The Western Baths and no-one supposed otherwise.
I have been very lucky to travel the world and visit some beautiful and fascinating places. Sometime I now look back and wonder where all of the wonderful places I have been I would best like to live. I always reach the conclusion that the answer is a flat in Cranworth Street across the road from the Baths which I woud visit every day.
