Shock as chimney pot crashes to ground in Milngavie town centre

The masonry fell from the roof of the Talbot Arms pub at Main Street around 9.30am on Monday, January 4.

Luckily no one was injured.

Police were called and the area surrounding the pub was cordoned off.

Milngavie SNP Councillor Jim Gibbons told the Herald police were warning people to stay away from the dangerous building.

He added: “I am so glad that I have not had any reports of injuries, but members of the public should give the building a wide berth.”

Both the owners of the pub which is closed and boarded up, and East Dunbartonshire Council, were contacted about the incident.
