The smell was really bad on a hot sunny day, especially around whats now know as Campbeltown rd.

A old bloke in lairds called it that Chris, in the moldloft, though Scotch was the manufacture of it, they still sell glue products now, scotch tape springs to mind. LOL, that was probably my dad, Bert. "Scotch", as in Scotch tape, is a trademark of the 3M company. I don't think they ever made the old glue. My dad used to buy it in thin slabs from a hardware shop.
Carpe diem.

I thought "Scotch glue" meant that no glue was used or it was invisibly joined - associated with "Scotch mist". No doubt colloquially diverse.

Remember calling it Scotch glue when I was at Wallasey Tech College in the late sixties, it did come in slabs which you broke up with a hammer and then melted down in a 2 piece pot ( like melting chocolate) and it stank to high heaven, it was also called animal glue as has been said it was made from bones etc, when set it formed a good waterproof joint but not on a par with todays glues, if you wanted to get it apart you had to use either steam or hot water to soften it up, you can still get it :- http://www.sheppy.ltd.uk/adhesives/scotch.htmDave
