Scotland's first cinema to re-open'
| BBC wrote: | The first purpose-built picture house in Scotland is to start showing films again after £2.15m of restoration work.
The Bo'ness Hippodrome, which opened in March 1912, was the vision of local film-maker Louis Dickson and designed by architect Matthew Steele.
It stopped showing movies in 1975 and finally closed in 1980 after a failed run as a bingo hall. |
