Some pictures of the Newlands Hotel after the "Farestage bar" was changed to "J J Booths"..

..with a quick check to google street view I can confirm the hotel is now demolished.

In my searching I discovered that a popular street gang from Glasgow in the 60/70s were called "Tiki". The name came from the Kon Tiki Cafe in Battlefield Road. Neither the cafe nor the gang exists, sadly for the former thankfully for the latter.
