Oh good lord what a heartbreaking little story😢 thank you. So empathic and balanced, such a rarity on a large percentage of 'Clickbait spooky channels' bravo xx

@carolescutt2257 it was an awful thing to happen, especially at that time of year. Thank you so much. I always try to stick to facts, and not speculate x

It was a really tragic event. The anniversary is tomorrow. Maybe I'll pay a visit to the memorial, before I go to my work.

[@scotlandshistory]

That would be a lovely thing to do. Thank you for watching Claire x

[@AScottishOdyssey]

@@scotlandshistory You can actually see the roof of the Glen Cinema from where the memorial stands. The memorial is in Dunn Square, and the cinema is on the other side of Gauze Street.

My family lost 2 in the tragedy. Great grandmother was pregnant with my gran and her twin at the time. Terrible tragedy.

[@scotlandshistory]

That's so sad. Thank you for watching.

[@pbc0174]

@scotlandshistory I have involved my own kids in the research and remembrance services held each year. On researching the plot my grandmother's siblings were buried in there was 5 of her siblings in the one plot, including her twin. Such a sad life but my great gran lived into her 90s so she was a fighter.

[@scotlandshistory]

@pbc0174 that's so sad. At least they're together. It's also lovely that you get your children to remember x
