i'd love to know who owns it, i want to see inside if i had money, i'd buy it... but i don't lol

Why not just go and have a look inside... there are usually ways into such places without too much effort on your part...

Trespass is not a criminal offence... just dont get caught "breaking and entering"... that IS a criminal offence!

Yeah just walk in, if you're a law-abiding citizen the owners will be down like a shot

you could just ask at the council, they will know, easier than getting barbed wire rips out of your coat

no such thing as Trespass in scotland

(but that just means they are quicker to get onto 'breaking and entering' and criminal damage charges....)

Its probably derelict for a reason, like its falling down

Also the cost 0f getting back to an acceptable stage would be millions ŁŁŁ

might be worth asking the question on 28dayslater.co.uk too

You can ask the Land Registery
edit* (or the scottish equivelent - i think its ros.gov.uk)
More edit*

its a listed building http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-34181-ker-street-glebe-sugar-refinery-/map

I like history searchs:
from wiki or Abram Lyle (tate and lyle?):
Together with four partners he purchased the Glebe Sugar Refinery in 1865, and so added sugar refining to his other business interests. When John Kerr, the principal partner, died in 1872, Lyle sold his shares and began the search for a site for a new refinery.
So thats where the road name came from!

awesome, cheers everyone later the night after posting this, got a pretty grim virus on the pc, hance the late reply

steve, i know it would cost millions lol, just saying IF i had the money...
i'm scared some neds (scottish for chav) will end up torching it like the sugar sheds a few years back. its an awesome building. maybe a bar of club. but thats just me lol

nah, no money for all that, but i just want to look inside it. see what its all about inside. i'll ask the council actually. it'll either be them or Clydeport who own it
