When every day you pass without paying special attention to ancient 
things it makes you blasé. As a child my milk round took me past Govan 
Old Parish Church where you could see carvings from the 10th and 11th 
centuries. Provand's Lordship near Glasgow Cathedral was built in the 
15th Cent. 100 year old houses don’t look particularly old. Luckily we 
did not have too many air raids during WWII
