The White Elephant in Glasgow was up a long, tight, steep staircase over some shops that faced out into Sauchiehall Street. Spread over two floors, the upper one was more of a circular balcony that looked down on the dance floor below. Tables and chairs of a pretty basic nature were spread out there and this is where you would have your ‘three course supper’ which was included in the admission price...£1.70 per couple on Couples Night! In 1977, the club was targeted by an arsonist. Fortunately, the evacuation went smoothly and there were no casualties, but thirty firemen were called upon to bring the blaze under control. The venue was badly damaged and required to close for a period. When it reopened, it was under the new name of Roseland.
