Thanks from Greenview Photgraphy Club. The Club is now dissolved due to decreasing numbers and increasing age but we have really enjoyed watching your videos over the last few months.
Thank you so much, that is incredibly generous of you and the club and I am so glad you have enjoyed my videos. Have a great weekend and thank you again, Dave.

I wish my Papa was still around,he would have been in his glory to be able to sit doon and watch all of your videos of Glasgow with a wee dram (or 5) He put in his time in the shipyards then emigrated to Canada in 1970 as a boilermaker and left Glasgow behind.❤
Both my Grandad and Dad was working that night as the part of the city's lamplighters. My Dad said there was an argument bc the firemen wanted the street lamps turned off.
You'll sure get future archaeologists very mad (or at least very confused) when they'll find out that your stone circle was built in the 20th century ! 😄
The members of the Greenview Photography Club are really enjoying your excellent videos. We have learnt so much about our home town delivered with real Glasgow style and humour. (Donation to follow via one of our members).
Interesting that in 1777 Newcastle had the greatest flood. Early climate change ? Great videos, my Dad was from Partick. Born in 1919. He was prisoner of war in Poland for 4 years during ww2, when he came back my grandparents had moved to Newcastle.
Burns flung out the sarry heid? I thought the only way you got flung out of there was in a rolled-up carpet,into the Clyde! 😆. (The firemen are in heaven. No one should die at their work 😢) good episode. Amazing to think of the Clyde that high! Plaques hidden in plain sight
My father in law was a fireman at that fire 🔥 Thomas Millan he was also at kilbirnie st it was actually 14 firemen and 5 salvage corps men that died he served 22 years as a Glasgow fireman 🚒 he attended most of the big fires in Glasgow he had to retire due to a bad injury he was on his way to a hoax call as the two engines were travelling down maryhill rd a car came out off a side street and the engine in front had to brake severely and the engine my father in law was in smashed into the back of the other engine he received a serious back injury and he had to retire he was an absolute gentleman
As always, I'm happy to see a regular installment from The Resident Historian. This one was very informative and had a wee bit on a former Maryhill resident.
Excellent stuff again 👍 A plaque to the writer of Confessions of an English Opium Eater caught my eye a few years ago, near the old BHS. Another fire on James Watt street in 1968 had 22 fatalities.
Last year i did a walk to follow the route of the ring road section which wasn't built. After I got to the M8 i saw the underpass with the plaque. Didn't know what it was about so thanks for clearing that up. I went to the stone circle (i had seen it on google earth) but it was fenced off. There's a lot of history when you take time to look but so much lost.
Really enjoyed this video. The head on the new student flats on High Street looks very like the Tontine Heads in the garden of Provand's Lordship just up the road. Perhaps the staff in the Glasgow room at the Mitchell Library could help with identification.(Many thanks to Jo for alerting me to your videos)
Read the monument to the firemen killed in the line of duty at the Necropolis, so touching 😢. Also saw the monument to St Rollox Chemical Works founder Charles Tennant (think he had too much of Hugh Tennents’ produce 🤣) Looking on Google Earth there used to be a plaque below the Monks face on High St, can’t read it tho
Thanks to your comment I found a photo of the Monks Face Plaque on wiki. Shame it seems to have fallen down and not replaced so far. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/04/Blackfriars_Memorial_-_geograph.org.uk_-_939922.jpg
Not quite. There is either a mistake on the plaque or the true age of her was not known when she first appeared and they guessed a year for when she was born.

This channel is better than anything factual about Glasgow that the main stream media, especially BBC Scotland, has ever done.
Thank you very much h. High praise indeed.
"Smudge was a Union cat..." Whee! Another excellent video----thank you.
She was more than a hero, she was a union cat

Account I don't like that surely there is plenty younger people looking to get into photography I myself would love to but that really sad 😂 sorry
We had a sunny day in June? Must have missed it.
Hence where Listerine mouthwash originated...as a disinfectant for hospitals. There is also a plaque outside the Scotia bar for Stan Laurel xx
I don't blame you for not going into that underpass. 🤣😬
There was a guy changing his trousers then spraying deodorant on himself. I waited around the corner until he left.

Really interesting stories of a dozen os so artifacts that you would ordinarily walk right past.
our baby boy is named smudge, wee bit of family history, bless a good long life, you made our day thans bt

I remember the Cheapside blaze, we lived in Hillhead and we could see the sky red from the flames.
Thanks. Very interesting as usual.

One of the best yet big man
Thanks for the wee tour today ( St Enoch to Bridgeton Bus Depot)
Very enjoyable

The "Cuddies" refer to the fact that horses use to be kept in that area along with a slaughterhouse that killed them.

Thats another fiver I owe Jo :-D Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Thanks
Awesome
Great information, David. we are always learning..
First class, forgive the pun,postie ! love Glasgow and hopefully will get there soon 😊
Great wee channel this is, would love if you could point me to any videos you’ve done in Possilpark if any
Closest I got to Possilpark was episode 40 about the Possil meteorite th-cam.com/video/5oB7TbC1nm4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ag_p8b1FIXGJFPEg
It'd be good to do a dedicated short video edit on Smudge - lots of people would share
The area around the high court was known as jocyclyn square

Will dancing round the stones help us win the euros? Its worked on the weather!
I gave it my best shot and my dressing gown will never be that same again.
Is that someone squatting in underpass at 09.36?
Yes. They pulled up their keks, sprayed themselves with deodorant and left.
🎉 Mazin' 😊
A thirty year old cat!!
Not quite. There is either a mistake on the plaque or the true age of her was not known when she first appeared and they guessed a year for when she was born.
Ha! I made it in! 😂
What was that in the underpass? 😮
Just some random guy changing his trousers. I didnt get any closer.
If you look up in Glasgow, all you see is rain.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The statues in the Gorbals are being repaired, they will return.
Thanks
