Clan Skates was set up by Jamie Blair and Davie Phillip i think in the late 80's and was then probably Scotlands one n only skater owned shop. Along with skate product it sold Poizone clothing which before Clan i used to buy from Davey's then girlfriends hairdressers shop in Linlithgow. While scouring old mags for photos etc to put on the blog i noticed pretty much every british mag i was lookin at had a Clan advert in it and they were almost all different ads. So here's the ones i've found so far. (As usual click the pics if you wanna see em bigger or read the text)
