He also was a key member of Glasgow City Council Transport sub-committee who helped introduce Atlantean One Man Operated buses into the City. His swansong was, unfortunately, attempting to find a new permanent home for The Burrell Collection which, until the opening of a dedicated museum in Pollok Estate, was housed in Pollok House, Kelvin Grove Art Gallery and Museum and some dusty store rooms in the latter. He paired with Teddy, later Sir Edward, Taylor. (en)
