Man who became 'zombie' on painkillers says medical cannabis gave him his life back
A memorial to Robert Currie was erected in the park, paid for by public donations. The original bronze plaque was later stolen and it was replaced with the current stone memorial. The result of this accident was that an underpass was built (and which is still there to this day) to replace the level crossing to allow safe access to the park.

The Currie Memorial in Dalmuir Park in Clydebank just to the west of Glasgow. When this Park was opened in 1906, it was accessed via an unmanned level crossing across an active railway line. On the 15th of May 1907, Charlie Friar, a two year old boy, walked into the path of an oncoming train on this crossing. In an act of extreme bravery, eighteen year old Robert Currie attempted to save him, but unfortunately both were killed.

Premature Clydebank twins saved by revolutionary co-sleeping... #tech #clydebank #cot #babies #fundraiserThe new Yoker-Renfrew Bridge across the Clyde. Officially opened yesterday, it won't actually come into use until midday today. I think I'm right in saying this is Scotland's first vehicular swing bridge across the Atlantic Ocean (well, a small arm of it at any rate!).
Carving of HMS Agamemnon on a Clydebank tenement. Built by William Beardmore and Company, it was the largest warship built on the Clyde when it was launched in 1906.
