Great research and field work, Eddy. Another interesting insight that is both intriguing and saddening at the same time. All the best fella!

great stuff Ed, you should do one about all the auld estates and villages that became Glasgow, I like these themed videos ... I'm surprised you never mentioned 'Bad Whisky'.... cheers

We used to call the Saracen's Head, the "Sorry Heid" I had many a wee hauf in there! Thanks for the nostalgia.

A first class presentation Grateful thanks for all your work

Wonderful research Ed, really enjoy your content.

The height of the gouges out of the wall, and the narrowness of the lanes suggests hand carts rather than motorised traffic were responsible for the damage. Difficult to say for certain but the marks are repeated, so not a single incident.

Thanks

Thanks, please keep making these excellent videos.

Thanks again ed.pity so much was swept away. But that ws really interesting. Hope you enjoyed your pint.best wishes from Oz.

thanks ed love your old pub vids would love too go with you one day on a wander keep well and look forward too more wish you would do old knightswood and temple ect

Nice tour Eddy. Thanks for sharing. Lynn in Naples FL 😎

Very interesting

Nae Inn's just walls and maps

Wonderful presentation and music!

Another enjoyable vid Ed . The last and by far the best watering hole I had the pleasure of working in was the Oriental Bar Hutchison Street just off the Trongate. A wonderful wee pub. It is no longer open. Shame. Cheers again, Ian

Brilliant video Ed. Thank you.

Great video Ed. Thank you.

Nicely put together. It's crazy to see the different ways Glasgow and Edinburgh evolved. Glasgow gave itself a clean slate and started over whilst Edinburgh kept its skeleton and built around it.

Great wander around the toon Ed. Well Done as always 👏 (And you end up in The Clutha/Victoria Bar which is where you can catch Trident on 7th Dec 🫵🏼) 🫡

Thanks eddy

Talking about Robert Burns is it just me or is that his face showing in the brick work to the left hand side of Ed's face while he's talking at 15:00? Spooky or what 😢

Great video, Eddie. Agree that it was such a shame that the mediaeval architecture/street layout was obliterated.

Eddy, Thanks firstly - great watch & listen. Appreciated. Detail & Snapshots / Fades with the Drawings, Photos & Ordnance Survey Maps giving great awareness of the re-development. Regards & best wishes from me.

Still drink in the tolbooth, great old pub !

Very informative, Thanks for teaching us about these old times , next time I visit Glasgow I'll know better what I am looking at. Always enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one, meanwhile I'll look at some of your older ones. ps , oh oh Eddy not far from 11,000 subscribers

I absolutely love your videos and enjoy them immensely. England and the so called UK has been nothing but a complete travesty for Scotland, culture and heritage. God bless you 🍀 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

For those interested, Dundyvan is actually pronounced dun die van.

HI, I wonder what year white lightning was available in The Saracens Head... if it was called that! Atb PS. the Carbeth inn (makes me sad ) must be older, as many on the coach road inns.

Great video. Even made me late picking up the wife lol.

without guys like you our city history will be gone

Thank you - I enjoyed seeing the old sketches and the Annan photographs.

Interesting but incidental music all wrong.

Great stuff Ed. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. You have made effective use of the available sources, including the old maps and photographs.

Is the Cathedral not medieval?

Great stuff Ed 👍

What a treat. Lovely film to watch, with so many smooth transitions and your wonderful bespoke musical soundtrack. I love the map that shows what appear to be tramlines on Argyle Street. Is that map available online? I often wonder how many of the older buildings we now miss were a routine part my grandmother's (as a young girl's ) Glasgow? One GM was born in 1898. The other I'd have to go look up to see when. I spent much of my own childhood being dragged around by mother and aunts as they shopped all around the old centre of the city. I recall having to step carefully across roads without losing a shoe in Horse Manure, or turning a little ankle on a deep steel tram run. It's fascinating to see familiar streets as they were in the 18th Century. Nice one Ed.

Another great video I like to watch up on the buildings going through from g33 where I stay to work at Govan It’s always mix of feelings because so many is devastated and very little well kept

I can fully appreciate Glasgow and the changes it has gone through as i imagine many across Britain can. I'm in Newcastle and remember starting work at a warehouse in Prudhoe St which used to run off Northumberland Street through to Percy Street. The frontage of the warehouse was a pretty modern looking glass fronted brick building compared to the back which was predominantly made from wood. It always facinated me crossing what was referred to as the 'gantry' which separated the brick built offices and showroom from the wooden built warehouse! It seemed to me I was stepping into another time. Very old and in places extremely 'spooky'. As a fifteen year old office junior being sent down to the basement was nerve-wracking lol. Sadly I've had no luck in finding any photographs of the old building which was demolished during the extension of Eldon Square shopping centre. Newcastle is still home and while I love it I hanker for the vibrancy the city once had. Thanks Ed lovely to see you out and about.

Fascinating Ed, more power to you. I feel a pint coming on.

🔷🔷IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE SWITCH THE 'STABLE VOLUME' SETTING OFF, SO YOU HEAR THE VIDEO AS I INTENDED, WITH THE MUSIC (ESPECIALLY AT THE END) LOUDER THAN GENERAL SPEECH. THANK YOU.🔷🔷

Used to frequent the “auld man’s pubs in the 70s the hangman’s rest Riggs bar the oriental the Angus bar and the mitre thanks Ed for jolting my memory

Thank you Ed.

Thanks Ed. Need to visit the Horseshoe Drury street. Used to lunch there when I worked at Gilt Edge carpets Argyle St. 1968

Great wee video that Ed , only thing missing wis a pie wi your beer

Brilliant ED, so much history (and poverty). Glad the poverty has gone (ha ha) but some of the history is still there, thank you for the guide🤠

Fascinating memories great research and camera effects 😊

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ED, KEEP THEM UP.

Those Doocots have got no business being in Yoker 🐦

im 57 and when i was a kid chicken was a luxury a treat we had the odd sunday instead of stew or mince and tatties now its an everyday food and totally tasteless may i say

Thanks for this video- didn't realise there were so many mills- video clearly highlights the decline of industrial past. Think Rosefield & 'the boxes' at Uniroyal both worth preserving for their history & contrasting architectural merit!.
