The Firm of 'Glen Barr' Opticians was originally founded in 1922 by James Glen Barr. He started a small optical practice in the town of Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway (www.visitmoffat.co.uk). The sight of the original

pratice still remains, complete with its glass veranda, commisioned by James (or 'Glen' as he preferred to be known). In 1943 James Glen Barr moved the practice to Dumfries and settled finally in a premises located at 9 Irving Street. It remains there to this day.(www.glen-barr.co.uk)
