Once again, thanks for all your continued support and Sponsorship.

Enjoy the site...

Now you can wander 'roon Blantyre with the help of the Google camera.

BLANTYRE has been captured on Google’s new controversial street view application.

Some Blantyre streets which feature on street view are Callaghan Wynd, Stonefield Road, Glasgow Road, Victoria Street and Calder Street. Blantyre’s famous landmark the David Livingstone Centre is also featured on the virtual map.

Three boys are also pictured waving at the camera on Glasgow Road and a keen gardener is pictured tending to their garden on Station Road.

The new tool allows people to take virtual walks through streets, view landmarks and even look up addresses.

Google cars were seen in the Blantyre area last year capturing the images with a 360 degree camera.

To see Blantyre and other parts of South Lanarkshire, visit google.co.uk


Sponsorship

In order to keep Blantyre's Ain Website alive, Sponsorship is a real necessity. We have been live for nine years now and until recently have been self funded.

Without sponsorship the site will ultimately self destruct as costs cannot be maintained by the Webmaster.

I therefore urge you, if you enjoy the web site and it's contents, to then help ensure it's continuation by making a small donation. All donations, no matter how small, will be gratefully appreciated.

A Special thanks to Robert Brownlie who donated £100.00 in September 2009. I told him I was dumbfounded at his generousity and he replied:

Hello Bill, thank you for your kind words.

There's no need for you to be dumbfounded, what I did was easy,its what you have done that's dumbfounding Bill !

I don't think you realise that what you have put into this site has given many people the world over many happy hours remembering days gone bye, quite often the best days of their live's!

And none of it possible without you!

So thank you, from all of us,

Robert. . . . .
