The notorious Caravel Bar was demolished in 1996, after years of controversy.
The pub was rumoured to be a hub of felonies with bomb scares, apparent drug trafficking, and underworld murders. Allegedly the meeting place of some of Glasgow's biggest gangsters, The Caravel was run by one of the city’s most famed couples of crime.
The Caravel was owned by Margaret McGraw - wife of Thomas McGraw. Known as ‘The Licensee’ Thomas was once one of the wealthiest businessmen in Glasgow, earning millions in security companies, taxi firms, and properties.
