Back in Blackhill for Angus and Malcolm Young statue.
IF you want to appreciate the splendor and majesty of the Cranhill water tower, you need to get up close to it. It’s located at one of the highest points in Glasgow, standing guard over the housing schemes of Cranhill, Queenslie, Blackhill and Ruchazie.
Unlike Garthamlock’s cylindrical water towers – visible across the motorway – Cranhill’s elevated water tank is a concrete square supported by a squadron of steel pillars. A further design quirk is provided by the structure’s visible central staircase, which lends it a Mackintosh aspect.
Meanwhile, his younger brother and co-founder Angus, 59, will join the remaining members – plus his nephew Steve Young – on a world tour to promote the band’s latest album, Rock or Bust. A new book has now revealed the truth about the enduring relationship between the brothers who led their band to the top with hits such as Whole Lotta Rosie, Let There Be Rock and Highway to Hell.
To author Jesse Fink, it’s time to start seeing some official recognition of the brothers’ achievements in their native Glasgow, where they lived before emigrating.
