Historic Scottish slipper baths could face demolition.

A 100-year old building which houses one of the last intact slipper bath complexes in the UK could be demolished if plans are given the go ahead.

Clydebank’s town centre is set to benefit from a £3.3million investment which will see the building demolished and turned into an arts venue as part of the proposals.

The bath houses were designed to accommodate the health and hygiene needs of thousands of people who had no access to bathing facilities.
