South Cambuslang in Winter
These scenes were shot on Saturday 2nd January 2010 using a Sony HDR-TG3E.
Cambuslang used to be the biggest village in Scotland. Back then (pre 1968) much of this area was green grazing pasture for Guernsey cattle. The three main farms were: Greenlees, Holmhills and Whitlawburn.
I don't recall seeing as much snow around here since Cliff Richard was at number 1 with 'Bachelor Boy'...in December 1962.

The FERODO Quickstep (full version) - with narration
มุมมอง 90015 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's the unexpurgated version of The Ferodo Quickstep, with narration by David de Keyser, as sent to several motor factors and dealers in the envelope pictured during 1961. The postmark is 3rd June 1961. I was given this copy many years ago by the proprietor of the motor dealership to which it had originally been sent because he had received two: one at each of his premises. This gentleman wi...
The FERODO Quickstep
มุมมอง 3.1K15 ปีที่แล้ว
A fine piece of British motor trade history, this is taken from a promotional 45 r.p.m record that Ferodo Limited of Chapel-en-le-Frith, England sent out to agents and factors during the early 1960s. With music & lyrics composed by John & Joan Shakespeare it contained a storyline voiced by David de Keyser which for some reason is missing from this version. But if anyone wants to hear the origin...
Cambuslang Public Park - Burn in Spate
มุมมอง 2.2K16 ปีที่แล้ว
A very rare sight. Normally this cheery wee burn is just a trickle. But with all the heavy rain we've been having lately... Well - see for yourself: quite a torrent, isn't it? I can't remember as much water here since the mid-1960s. These scenes were shot using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 stills camera in movie mode.
Cathkin & Rutherglen High Schools
มุมมอง 9K17 ปีที่แล้ว
This video shows construction work, as of March 2007, on the new Cathkin & Rutherglen High Schools in Holmhills Wood Community Park Cambuslang Glasgow. The 'Cathkin High' operational at the time (the pink building slightly south of the site) is shown for reference. The two new schools opened for business on Monday 20th October 2008 and I understand that the old Cathkin High (pictured) will be d...
Kelvingrove Park Glasgow
มุมมอง 6K18 ปีที่แล้ว
A quick look round Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow's fashionable west end. For many years Kelvingrove and its immediate neighbourhood could get rather unsavoury after 6pm. But the recent installation of CCTV cameras has safened things up a good bit. Whereas, during the day, Kelvingrove is probably as safe as any other park in the world. It's tremendously popular on summer evenings and at weekends w...
The Glasgow Subway - A Clockwork Orange
มุมมอง 98K18 ปีที่แล้ว
A Glasgow underground train - sometimes called 'A Clockwork Orange' - travelling from St. Enoch Station to what is now called 'Kelvinhall' at the bottom of Byres Road. However, I shall always remember this particular stop as 'Partick Cross' because it's right on Partick Cross, and near The Kelvin Hall 'none', as my aunty might say. Also calling this station 'Kelvinhall' and doing away with ' Pa...
Sunday Morning in Rio - Part One
มุมมอง 1.8K18 ปีที่แล้ว
The night before - the Saturday night - there'd been a major traffic jam outside my apartment. Then, after waking on Sunday morning, I realised why. The council had been erecting barriers for the sporting event, part of which we can see here.
Cathkin Webcam Environs - Whitlawburn Cambuslang Glasgow
มุมมอง 14K18 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a quick look round the Whitlawburn area of Cambuslang Glasgow where, recently, there have been quite a lot of redevelopment works. Prior to 1968 all this area was open pasture with brown and white cows grazing at every turn. How different today...

I lived in Whitlawburn for the first twenty years of my life. So many memories of growing up there. First being in the start of the video showing the Law burn inn. To the left of the building on the crest of the hill there used to be a very large boulder. This boulder was deposited there during the last ice age roughly 22,000 years ago. My friend and i used to play there as kids and would dig little holes under it to leave items for others to find(did we invent geocaching?) Years later when the council removed it to build the new housing estate i remember thinking just how much history and changes that boulder must have seen sitting there just chilling over thousands of years. Now Holmhills woods. at one point there someone dug out a fire pit of sorts on the top. We use to hang there in the summers as teens enjoying a beverage or three. Many firsts happened there for me. First time i got so drunk i passed out. First time i.. well lets just say got to second base as the Americans say. :)

That’s right!
The OG Glasgow subway was actually a cableway system operated by a continuously running cable underneath the tracks. I think all of that got ripped out in the 1970'ds
1930s
Actually the Metkland Street has platforms were destroyed and it was completely Rebuilt as Partick Station. The only 2 renames were the 2 stops after Merkland street that I forgot the names about
am fuckin pissed aff wae yhe fucka that took this. Ma hoose is right in this video, ye better git it aff right noo ya fuckerz
whit ye dain? ah told ye hows it still up?????????/
Dear Uncle, You ought to make a specific claim that the local "tube" there is called "A Clockwork Orange". Foreigners, would find that fact very interesting; especially Londoners, whose Tube has no such "official colloquial" nickname. . o0o
I doubt Londoners would be impressed by this tiny underground system.
+CushionOfWealth The London Underground's nickname IS the 'tube'.
get it up yee trinity no.1
No way, I think average man will find difficulties standing inside. Are these rail gauge 1435?
Lex Parsimoniae they use 4 foot narrow gauge track
RIP my dear old friend
I nicknamed this subway the Glasglow Earthworm or Caterpillar
Great service but students are horrible
look like piccadilly train in london !
its really old fashioned and absolutely tiny, but it is much nicer than any other subway I've ever been on.
I like when the Subway had the orange livery… it gave them character, and I personally felt they looked better! Thank god they are bringing it back a little!
10 years later 😅. The subway livery when you were writing was the “Carmine and Cream” livery. SPT applied it on to all of their trains, especially in the British rail network. The kept a little of the orange at the front, but the main train, as you said wasn’t orange.
Arpoador.
They've got cushioned seats in there? The trains here in Singapore are hard plastic.
Hi there and thanks for this interesting and important post.
I shall be greatly honoured if you do :-) So please go ahead.
@unclealister this is 144pacerfan, do you mind if i use the music for an animation i'm doing?
@144Pacerfan To get around the copyright thing, I did it on a Roland Juno-D synth that I'd not long got at the time. Was a good way of trying out the keyboard too of course.
it looks so sweet :D
nice to see this. Ah the memories. Well done.
@confuser69 well said, glasgow has this tarnished image that it can't shift. Its no worse than any other large city. I lived near Sheffield for a year. it was the most depressing place I've ever been to and in that 1 year I seen more violence than I ever have in 30 years in Glasgow
@Dougiesmithh Have you been to Glasgow? Its certainly not small
i REMEMBER SEEING A SIMILAR SIGHT IN THE EARLY 80S BUT THIS IS A RARE OCCURRENCE. AMAZING AS ITS NORMALLY DEAD CALM.
The drivers are to be sacked as all they do is press a button for the train to move, the trains stop automatically at stations and they stop in exactly the same spot. It is impossible for one train to run into another as they automatically shut off the section behind them. The trais will eventually run by computer like London's Docklands Light Railway
WOW! That is different type of local underground services for clockwise orange trains!! Nice ones.
What's the name of this model of train, and the name of the model they used before this?
Don't tell me they're playin Beethoven when a train enters, or die you put that under the clip?
thats the smallest platform ive ever done seen
The particularity is that it's the only one subway system in the world where the only one line is circle
Just want to say that the end of vid / where ya show kelvingrove park bandstand, is so sad. I remember going to a couple concerts there in the mid 80s. When friends bands played. I remember seeing the band Glasgow and unsure of the year im thinking 86 or 87. Fond memories. So sad to see nothing can be done to fix that place up if i ever had a million bucks id come over and pay to restore it :) Another place i use to go was The Venue weekly.. rocknroll !
haha stick door at 0:45
the thing i hate about our clockwork oranges is that they are seriously needing refurbished, man look at London's tube system!!!!
The third oldest underground system in the world (after London and Budapest) opened 1896. I also didn't know that Glasgow have a subway until I read it on the net :))
Really good video of South Cambuslang in the winter time that shows off the excellence of the HD Sony camera both visually and its high quality audio track which captures ambient bird sounds.
yup :)
I preferd the old tube all brass and it rockted about all over the bit, there good at changin names to make it sound more snooty, my grannie stayed just off Byers RD so a hurl on the tube every sat was the in thing nice vid m8
Perhaps we'll see it going a lot like this in furture due to global warming. There certainly seems to be much more water around these days than over the last forty-odd years.
Many thanks.
Awesome quality is that!
My dad, who'd be 95 now, joined Ferodo when he left school at 14 and worked there for 50 years, most of them in sales. Dad always said he had an easy job because, due to their premium quality, the products virtually sold themselves.
'Ode to Joy' from Beethoven's 9th Symphony as featured heavily in Stanley Kubrik's 1971 movie A CLOCKWORK ORANGE.
i go 2 the new school
Canny say for sure. But St. Enoch, Buchanan Street and Hillhead certainly. I'm ashamed to admit that I have not visited all the stations. And they often change things...
Yes. They are operated by the tickets.
It would be great if someone could post film of the old trains.
