A trade card for the Turkish baths at the Bridge of Allan Hydro. An oval vignette shows the exterior of the building in its ‘quasi-oriental’ style. The building appears to be in three sections, the large one being the same length as the two shorter ones taken together. Its main ground level feature is a series of high arched ‘cloisters’. The inner short section differs and has a number of domes above. The outer short section has a decorated chimney above. All the corners have faux minarets. Underneath the image and title, lines of text at each corner note that the bath was 87 feet long, and that the hot rooms were from 18 to 25 foot high. (Image: Aberdeen City Libraries)
Although captioned 'Turkish Baths, Bridge of Allan' this view shows only the hydro which was built three years later. (See next image)
A treen wool-holder, around 10 cm in diameter, with three vignettes illustrating aspects of the Bridge of Allan Hydro. The one in the previous illustration is shown at the front.
An advertisement, probably from a contemporary local directory, showing the hydro building prior to the addition of the Turkish baths in 1862, although built three years later than the baths. According to the Stirling Observer (16 March 1865) these had not been as popular as expected since, without adjoining accommodation, those wishing to spend several days at the baths had to find local places to stay.
#onthisday, 19 March 1862, William Archibald opened #TurkishBaths at #BridgeOfAllan, Scotland at a cost £2,000. There were separate days for men & women. "Refreshments, Cigars, Tobacco, etc, of the Best Quality" were available. See also +ALT. 🗃️ #C19th

An image of the Red Herring restaurant in the foreground, with a zig-zag fire escape stairway behind, on the adjacent hotel. The sky is bleak and cloudy. The colours are not accurate (mostly blue in the image) as they have been manipulated by the Hipstamatic app.
