Cool video.

This is brilliant. I’ve learned so much about the history of that area from this video. Thank you.

[@JM-xk3xs]

This is so informative, brilliantly narrated too! Amazing what history lies within the city streets.

Very interesting video, as always. The last time I walked down hill I passed an interesting garden on the right side, which was just being developed, but it was closed off. I will have to go back there to see if I can get in to visit now.

Just came across your channel this week. Interetingly, the Blind Asylum clock has 5 faces. Quite possibly the only city clock to do so. Questions have been asked for so many years now, as to why Glasgow city planners scathed through the old medieval city, to accommodate traffic, resulting in an on / off ramp to a now loathed motorway. Would the city of York impose such a henious crime upon its heritage? What about a motorway interchange next to Edinburgh castle be considered ? Of course not. However, Glasgow was growing, and had to accommodate the bombardment of vehicles demanding access into it A by pass would have befitted the High St/ Castle St junctions. As the name suggests, it by passes the city, not cut a swathe through it. Nonetheless, informative and well presented videos.
Cheers.

Had my graduation in the Barony and at that time the hospital where I was born, Rottenrow, was still open, just. My mum trained as a nurse at the Royal.
Glasgow is always changing but the damage done by pushing a motorway through the centre was civic vandalism at it's worst.

We've got a new video about the Rottenrow up now! ua-cam.com/video/rdCHqiFrppc/v-deo.htmlsi=WEC9UhnfX5Q4zdGi

Grew up in Townhead and watched the M8 being built - destroyed a great community!

I'm hoping to take a trip to Scotland when things are better, and as my ancestors came from this area, am interested in all things Scottish. I am disappointed, however, to learn how much has been destroyed or carelessly refurbished. Glasgow is certainly not alone in this sort of treatment, but it seems like a disproportionate amount of damage has been done here.

This is considered a sunny day in Glasgow.
Depressing city on so many levels.
