Great film, JJB. Thanks for this. I was 14 that year and remember these iconic scenes of Glasgow very well - especially the Barras!

Smashing video. How I miss those days. Especially visiting the Barras

It’s always the slums you see ! I came from a lovely part of Glasgow. We we’re comfortable, not everyone was from a deprived area

[@georgerichardson7728]

There's plenty of West End Glasgow footage around too

What a complete dump. The Barras is still a dump now.

that architecture swings from Dickensian to brutal East German. Ouch!

Being raised in Glasgow and Cumbernauld is why I have a penchant for Communist-era Eastern European architecture.
