Going in date order this time - the Keiller Restaurant ad is from 1963 and is for their place in the High Street, while reminding us where their other eateries were located.
The ad for Nelson's is dated 1965 and is for their shops in Nelson Street and the Wellgate. Although it was a confectioners, I think their place in the Wellgate may have had a wee corner sitting area, although I could be getting mixed up with another sweet shop/cafe!
Raffles in the Perth Road was a nice cheery restaurant/cafe that had a very good reputation for it's food and service. I just thought I'd include this basic ad from 1984 to remind you of their logo.
The ad for Shepherd's and the Baked Tattie & Pizza House is conjoined because they both shared the same address in Perth Road. It's dated 1984 - so pre Peking.
The Town House ad is a 1988 one and emphasises their pub lunches - Farfir bridies an' a' that.
But can anyone remember what David did? It says Wednesday, Thursday and Sundays were music nights, but they don't put David's appearance in that category. So what was in store for everyone - did he come up to you and smash you in the face with a frying pan, or what?? Mondays and Tuesdays to be avoided??!!

Loved Keiller's in the High Street. My grannie used to book the Christmas Day lunch there and insistted on the window seat so we could see the tree in the square. Happy memories.
David didn't like Mondays
'Find out whats in store' sounds like he could be a tarot reader/psychic or something. Oh or he read palms.
Good point anon, think you might be right there. Unless he was a shoplifter fae the Hulltoon takin orders fae Tesco in the Wellgate :)
