    My grandpa worked at John Browns and my Grandma worked at singers. Born and raised in Scotland and survived the Blitz. Very proud of my heritage 💕 I miss them dearly and these accents make my heart feel like it’s at home.

    I am proud to have worked in engineering in Glasgow. This film saddens me to think there is no longer large engineering and shipbuilding industries within Glasgow and the Clyde. I no longer recognise it as the Kingdom it once was. These films and our experience are the only memories left.

    Very proud men, proud of their town, a real sense of community and proud to be Lowland Scots. Sad to see how different things are now
