God I miss this Glasgow….the playbarn and the flats was our hangout joint

I grew up in Rutherglen, so it was great to see a bit of the southside. In my first job after school, I had to deliver stationary to the Glasgow School of Art, which was always a joy. The whole building is just awesome, a masterpiece.

The 90s and 2000s were good times for Glasgow, albeit sustained by a global property bubble that eventually collapsed. Its been doonhill since.

The thing that stood out to me, was the lack of cars, nowadays it's just cars everywhere.

The Burrell museum's amazing from the point of view, this contains 1 man's collection, so vast it can't all B displayed @ once & they rotate some of it. There's also a replica of the living rm he had in his castle. It all started when his dad gave him money 2 buy a cricket bat & he bought a painting instead.

Moved out of Hospital Street (152) at 3 years old to away out the South-Side as my Father being a Red-Flag 🚩 Sou-Side Taxi Driver ,when there wee operation room was at the back of Oatlands a used to wash taxi's growing-up. Good Video of sunny Glasgow 1991

I love seeing old footage of city’s I grew up around, thanks for posting and also it’s bittersweet you managed to capture the charles rennie mackintosh building at 3:06 because that’s a real moment in time you both captured there considering the building always sadly destroyed in a fire last year, a true landmark of Glasgow gone forever..

They're going to fully rebuild and restore the building.

Of course the Greek Thompson church is still standing, it's a listed building.

that guy shouting EVENIN TIMES! pure Glesgae banter

That when I started raving 91 😁

You were a wee bit late…’89 for me. Good times tho 💃 I’d go back in a nanosecond

i was born amd brought up here. gorbals now full of professional housing and very different again

Nice to find this oldie.

Vey interesting, I’m assuming that the lady in the film either was Glasgow born before moving to North America or here parents were & you both visited family members still living in or around the city. The drive down Rosebery St was particularly interesting as I was driven down it many times myself as a child because my mother grew up living on that street & would often go back, it’s now gone completely and the area redeveloped. Rosebery st fell under the Oatlands area.

I was in the last primary 1 of Scotland Street primary.

This comment wow!

It was criminal how they tore down all the historic old buildings in areas such as the Gorbals only to replace them with ugly tower blocks that barely lasted a generation.

They didnt last because the people they put in them didnt care

Didn't know the post office in George Sq was still functioning as late as 1991.

The wee brick building in gorbals was a post office coin counting facility the weans called it the mint

The silos are everywhere aren’t they not sure why they had to force their culture onto us in our own country they forced their way into. Then they act like we moved into theirs.

the gorbals was so fucking grim at that time, good god
