On a (slightly) related note, I came across this item from the Glasgow Herald (22nd December 1941). It describes a fire at Winton Park in which the pavilion and much of the stand were destroyed. (Perhaps Rowanbush remembers the event?)

It was Rowanbush's fault, he rubbed his wee twiggy legs the gither! ha ha ha!
