🔷🔷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.🔷🔷
Thanks again ed. As a ex Glaswegian ifound your video quite fascinating. It shows us what history we have lost. You mentioned your liking of stone, I've always found drystane dykes to be something to admire. Best wishes from Oz.
@@Urbexy - I find that with Stable Volume setting on, which I think it is as default, a lot of compression/limiting is applied which squashes the music to a reduced volume and dynamic that I'm not happy with. As a musician, having the sounds at the level that I set when editing the video is important to me, although I understand why UA-cam and other platforms might want to level out all sounds, whether speech or music.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
Really, really found the video so interesting Eddy, I’m a huge lover of stone too , and old bricks . Made me smile when you spoke about “Drinking Dens “ remember The Albert bar , & Dizzy Lizzies ! Liked the music too touch of Lamentetal Drama . Toni
Cheers Toni. Some great memories of Dizzy Lizzies; small tubs of muscles in brine and women dancing on tables. Awesome! When I'm through in Edinburgh I often pass the old pub in search of memories, but it seems shut much of the time these days. Even the tenement we all stayed in has been demolished.
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.
Thanks Eilean. The National Library of Scotland have an awesome online map facility. It is simply out of this world, and whoever was responsible for it needs to be formally recognised in some way. This link will take you to an 1890s map of the centre of Glasgow, showing those tram-lines. From this map you can explore further, with other areas, dates and map makers. Have fun. maps.nls.uk/view/82891761
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.

Hi Ed, Ive just realised, you were the Author (I think ) of Scotish Brewery Trademarks ? I did have a copy of your book some 20 years ago, but Lost it, in a house move. You are a capable and keen Historian. Best regards
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.
@@EdExploresScotlandHi, It is a pity, I loved that place,"ale steak pie"mmm, and watching the Kestrels and more on a summers day, and the burn bubbling away in the distance no longer The Allander water, but the Lecher burn. Atb

All fine for me too

Thanks for your time thanks for sharing...
without guys like you our city history will be gone
That's very kind. Thank you.
Great research and field work, Eddy. Another interesting insight that is both intriguing and saddening at the same time. All the best fella!
Cheers Jim.
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.

Thanks again ed.pity so much was swept away. But that ws really interesting. Hope you enjoyed your pint.best wishes from Oz.
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
Cheers. Yes, the word 'shebeen' and 'Bad Whisky' certainly go together.
Thanks, please keep making these excellent videos.
Fascinating Ed, more power to you. I feel a pint coming on.
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

Nice tour Eddy. Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff Ed. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. You have made effective use of the available sources, including the old maps and photographs.
Cheers Stephen.
Thank you - I enjoyed seeing the old sketches and the Annan photographs.

@@EdExploresScotland Thanks for the link 🙏
Still drink in the tolbooth, great old pub !
Absolutely. And sitting in the very heart of Glasgow.
Thanks Ed. Need to visit the Horseshoe Drury street. Used to lunch there when I worked at Gilt Edge carpets Argyle St. 1968
Horeshoe's still a stunning old pub.
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
I was in the Hangman's Rest a few times. Pretty basic bar, if I recall.
@@EdExploresScotlandthey all were nothing fancy about them full of “characters “
Thank you Ed.
Thanks eddy
Thanks
Many thanks Jim.

Yes, it's an interesting thing. Reminded me of the rope marks in the cut of junction canal video.
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🤠
Thanks guys.
Great video, Eddie. Agree that it was such a shame that the mediaeval architecture/street layout was obliterated.
Cheers Robert. I suppose the main thoroughfares still exist, but that general olde worlde feel has vanished.
Very interesting

Hi Ed, Ive just realised, you were the Author (I think ) of Scotish Brewery Trademarks ? I did have a copy of your book some 20 years ago, but Lost it, in a house move.
You are a capable and keen Historian.
Best regards
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.
Yes, the Carbeth Inn would be an incentive to do some walking in that area. I wonder if it will ever open up again. Probably be a house before long.
@@EdExploresScotlandHi, It is a pity, I loved that place,"ale steak pie"mmm, and watching the Kestrels and more
on a summers day, and the burn bubbling away in the distance no longer The Allander water, but the Lecher burn.

White tornado in the sarri Head !!
Wonderful presentation and music!
Thank you.
Great video. Even made me late picking up the wife lol.
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 😢
I see what you mean. A bit strange.
Is the Cathedral not medieval?
Of course it is. There are one or two medieval survivors in the city.
The Pope's Eye would've been my tavern lol!
Nae Inn's just walls and maps
Interesting but incidental music all wrong.
I did think some accordion-based music might be more appropriate, but you can't keep an old rocker down!
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 🫵🏼) 🫡
Absolutely. Cheers Graham.
Brilliant video Ed. Thank you.
Thanks Alastair.
