Aye i"m from Dalmuir, thought I recognized your name but wasn"t sure.
There"s a few people who play the APAT games from Clydebank, one or two of us on the forum too.
I"ve no been to the Merchant in ages, don"t really play much poker live in Glasgow anymore but last I knew it was getting around 50-60 runners for the Wed game and finish about 12-12:30 if you get to the money. It"s a good game to pass the time and get used to the live atmosphere. You can regularly cash if you play solid ABC but do be prepared to crash out against Jx, Qx or Kx suited - they just can"t muck those suited cards up there, ever!
