With notorious and sometimes criminal history, many of these pubs were witnesses to some extreme 'action', and could be managed or visited by Glasgow's biggest criminals.
The Spring Inn, located on Springburn Road near the high flats in Balgrayhill, had a reputation for bad behaviour - and was rather affectionately known as the 'stab inn'.George Madden was targeted in this revenge plot and
was taken to the nearby Stobhill Hospital, where surgeons told him he would need lengthy surgery to remove the bullets - so he just checked himself out instead. The McGovern family of Springburn, known locally as the McGovernment, used the Spring Inn as their headquarters. Back in the 90s, the McGoverns had created a large drugs empire, and were said to be laundering massive sums of money.
