I was rather pleased to randomly come across this plaque on a tenement on Dumbarton Road in Yoker today. I remember watching 'All Creatures Great and Small' as a child, but I only recently realised that the vet it was based on was: A. Real; and B. From Glasgow (you'd never have guessed this from Christopher Timothy's accent in the 1980s TV series!).
