The brand new Barrhead Foundry opened to great acclaim last month, and quite rightly too — but there appears to be one slight error in the new surroundings (circled).

Large canvases don the Foundry walls, celebrating the history of Barrhead and its residents, but why are Glasgow amateur football side Queen’s Park hanging alongside?

When approached by The News, the council admitted there had been an innocent mistake.

A spokeswoman said: “Thank you to the eagle eyed library goer who has asked about this picture. It was filed away in our archives under ‘Arthurlie Football Club’ so in good faith we framed it for the new building.

“We have asked the experts at the Scottish Football Museum to confirm the team pictured. If it turns out to be Queen’s Park we shall replace it.” The picture, which has been mistakenly hung in the belief that it is Barrhead side Arthurlie, is thought to actually display the Glasgow side during a visit to Dunterlie Park during the early 1900s.

The flagship £3.6 million project to modernise Barrhead Sports Centre was completed at the tail-end of January, featuring a state-of-the-art new library, a gym, conference facilities and a new cafe.

Sir Harry Burns, the former chief medical officer for Scotland described the vibrant surroundings as “fantastic”, adding: “It’s wonderful, and I really think the council need to be congratulated.” The Foundry will also offer higher education courses for the first time ever in Barrhead, thanks to a partnership with West College Scotland and the University of the West of Scotland.” The Foundry has even caught the attention of the literary world, with local author Chris Brookmyre set to take centre stage on March 31.

Brookmyre will be discussing his latest novel Dead Girl Walking, as well as showing off Bedlam, the videogame based on his novel of the same name.
