GLASGOW EVENING CITIZEN, FRIDAY 30TH MAY 1879
The Shandon Hydropathic.
On the invitation of the directors of this establishment a large party of ladies and gentlemen were invited to an inspection of the building today, now that it has been completed by the erection of handsome baths and necessary suites of bed chambers.
A dinner was to be given in the elegant hall of the mansion this evening, and a ball for which many cards of invitation have been issued, was to follow at a later hour.

Shandon.
The hydropathic establishment.
It is rumoured that some of the neighbouring proprietors are not so favourable as might be expected at the formation of such an institution; but it should be borne in mind that the establishment will be of a first-class character, and will be frequented by persons of the best ranks in society.
The enterprise is highly approved, on the other hand, by numerous residents in the district.
