Just like elephants never forget, it seems Glasgow locals will always remember their favourite watering holes - no matter their current name.
A recent thread on social media has recalled the area's legendary Elephant & Bugle pub, which became a regular haunt for generations of Maryhill drinkers.
Opened in the 1960s, the popular boozer, which was situated at 1397 Maryhill Road, was the beating heart of the community for many years.
On the weekends the watering hole would be packed to the gunnels with revellers keen to soak up the live entertainment, such as beat groups and cover bands who regularly performed in the upstairs lounge.
The Bugle, as it was more commonly known, had its roots in local history. It took its name from the insignia of Glasgow's Highland Light Infantry (HLI) regiment which was based out of Maryhill Barracks.
The famous regiment, which had served in India in the 19th century, adopted the elephant and bugle as its emblem, thus inspiring the name of the pub.
But while the Bugle was renowned as a great place to enjoy a pint with pals, it's said the establishment was haunted.

According to local folklore, the pub had its very own resident ghost, with many eerie incidents and disturbances. reportedly occurring within its walls, including sightings of a "man in black" or a "strange lady floating about".
In 2015, the Elephant & Bugle underwent an extensive makeover and emerged with a new name above the door: The Lockhouse Bar & Restaurant. For many old Bugle regulars, things have never quite been the same since the change.
Reminiscing about the pub on the Maryhill Memories group on Facebook, Marjory Rawlins wrote: "The Elephant & Bugle was built late 50s early 60s and was very popular. There was one guy called Paddy who often sang upstairs - brilliant singer. Happy days."
Moira Shillady said: "Drank in there when it first opened that was our local pub. Was the best at that time – always good music. The young ones from the Valley met every weekend."
Emma Hutson commented: "The group that sang there were related to the O'Learys, they were very popular back then."
Lesley Byrne Simpson recalled: "I worked with Benny in the Bugle for 15 years was a great pub then and always busy, had great groups on upstairs every weekend."
Bryan Gordon said: "I used to pop in for a pint every now and then on the way home from work. It's now the Lockhouse bar... very nice I hear, but a bit too sanitised and hipster for me!"
