As for the Black Bull, it's demolition was no less than a criminal act whose perpetuators have never been brought to justice. In it's place we have a tatty multi-storey car park, the demolition of which is in itself long overdue.
Yes it is in Accy, I have the printers next door and we've got an Accy address.
