They cry this community regeneration 😂😂😂 - but they've destroyed the social cohesion o this pairt o Glesca, like they've din in aw ither pairts o Glesca - and noo there's nae sense o community onywhaur - only neeghbours living lives detatched fae yin anither! The lassie is exactly correct in her description and analysis o 'the legacy'!

shocking the council just demolish these flats in glasgow rather than retro fitting them, but of course back handers and other council cons makes sure that dont happen. Wait, what? you want a view and a unique viewpoint of your own city? na , you need money for that, go live glasgow harbour 1500 a month, your a council peasent, you will be ground and road level only. i still live in high flats, and used to live in the red rd. The view point you get of the city is unique and disgrace they are turning that into an elite thing.

It's guid tae here yon lassie speakin in the Glesca vernacular. But a'h mind when kids were cried weans! A'h served ma apprenticeship in Sir William Arrol's in Dunn St./ Baltic St.

This was one of the best town centres in Scotland in the 1970’s/80’s … full of great shops, Christmas displays were incredible, does anyone remember the Santa’s doing acrobats above the elevators? I Spent many an hour exploring every little nook and cranny of this place whilst growing up in Cumbernauld. The Wm Lo cafe had the world best milkshakes. The library was just phenomenal. The fish shop at the top of the elevators was superb! The building stood like a Goliath in the middle of Cumbernauld and has been destroyed year after year by NL council. It’s an absolute disgrace what they have done to an iconic building!

The nostalgia of the still shots from the past are so full of comfort, of knowing, of a time when life seemed simpler than the future of unknowing which is full of an unease. The failures of the local councils are what are the destruction of these vertical villages. What was required in each building was a community room, a cafe, a housing office, a shop, dentists, Drs etc; to just put people in these spaces with no infrastructure which was afforded to those in schemes is what was the biggest failure and ultimately the demise of the buildings itself. Beautiful film and a great highlight of human failings in social housing residents.

Something familiar through the years.councillors and politicians deciding what is best for us.if there is criminal element anywhere its the authorities responsibilty to deal with it

the woman that says they dont partake in crime and co-operate 100percent with the polis and uses that word junky. well what about the crime element yous all took part in when selling cheap tobacco and fags and this goes onto fund organised crime and terrorism. oh well thats ok cos their no junkies

Ugh what the actual fuck man poor lassie, it makes me so mad 😢

I see the area has improved 😅

I couldnae even cut through Baltic without mad bastards trying to rob me for my capri sun and my fkn shoelaces. That being said, this video was still devastating to watch. I knew some of that woman's family back when I lived in Brigton.

Lived in 30/4 63 Petershill Dr from 1968 till 1980….brilliant place to grow up.

All this for the benefit of a bunch of Lycra clad narcissists

The scan bookshop was brilliant, so beautiful inside

Iwent to school in Dalmarnock, Carstairs Street - it was God awful.

Is it true that Cumbernauld shuts on a Sunday ? Wouldn't surprise me in the least ! I noticed that you managed to get in a nice plug on the wall of the building for William Hill ..bookies to the housing schemes ! Nice piece of advertising ...

I lived. There from 19 to 40 was good for kids but when down quick when housees. Sold for 23grand.and landlords put teenagers from Glasgow in them houses could not sell remember six homes and mine up for sale the shops were good in the old days so glad i on a island now best thing i didfor me and kids 😂

My goodness professor- assuming you don’t live here, it’s fine for you to advocate for its regeneration while you jump in your car and head home , no doubt to a leafy suburb. Let’s take lots of pictures and knock it down. Cumbernauld has grown and developed and deserves a better civic space

So I disagree with it being busier as people didn’t have cars, they did. It was busier because it used to have decent shops. Mothercare, John Menzies, Halfords, boots, shoe shops, wimpy , scan … if there were decent shops it would still be busy

Maybe if the airport next door stopped spraying the sky. Maybe it could be opened up and glorious again

Absolutely loved it!. Powerful!. Emotional! Great insight into the lives of those living in high rise flats!. How some loved it, and how others loathed it!. Buildings full of memories!.

Great price of history - well done too ❤

She's right. It could come back! Are the games not there again in 2 years?

Last time I was there some 10 years ago I was interested to see many newcomers to the UK , mostly women who were getting into earning and selling for a first step….so that opportunity is now closed

I'm sorry it might have been something years back before it shut down but it became a shithouse at the end smack on sale bottles of some sort of booze porn lumps of hash I bought some when times were hard I remember the cafe under the bridge ham ribs and cabbage mince and potatoes pie and beans chips pints mugs of tea their building something down there just now don't know what

Is that a door(white paint)at top below (blue )....odd building...

I remember buying second hand suits in Paddy’s Market during the Punk Rock era in the late 70s

Got my hair done for wedding in 78 and mum me took son walks all gone now son pass away mum and dad no one else been in springburn😢 thanks 🙏

Twas alweez a stinking howf fer beggars, but a h got guid heroine therr and bit o waccy baccy. Cheep claes with shite encrusted crotch ye had tae scrub aff.

It's sad that yon fowk in this video didnae express thir opeenions in their ain Gesga vernacular. The Glesca vernacular - that's anither thing that's deein! oot. That disnae fit in wi the new fancy image o Glasca. Hey! Dinnae cry it Glesca

Corrupt officials from the council got back handers to get these houses demolished and these new ones built

See as a Bulgarian I take a bit of an issue with the Battle of the Shipka Pass being described as simply a "battle between the Russians and the Turks", given that 2/3 of the force opposing the Turks was actually Bulgarian volunteers (opalchentsi) who were fundamental to winning the battle. Very sad that there's no street with a Bulgarian name in Glasgow now, especially as it seems Schipka Pass was a fascinating place with beautiful architecture 😢

It was murder when the lifts were off, my mum was a home help and had a few senior citizens that she went to in there, sometimes had to walk up 7, 8, 10 floors sometimes

Never mind aw this rubbish whit aboot my lamp - 2 pound a paid for it and when i got it hame it didnae work - Took it back the next week and the place wis shut doon - a bunch of rotton scammers they probably new that lamp didnae work and saw me comin

Even just watching this, my soul feels trapped in purgatory! 😱Light a candle for the poor people of the 'Nauld! 🕯🙏

did the same to the barras, ripped the heart out of it. Now folk travel across the world to find local street markets

Very sad to see such a great resource closed. Post pandemic cost of living crisis should be heralding the resurgence of places like Paddy’s after all not everyone is tech savvy or even interested enough to access eBay!

There,ll be no compulsory purchase at Balmoral Castle nor its 78.3 square mile garden that surrounds it. Imagine owning a garden & grounds thats more than 3 times the size of greater Glasgow.

Quality. ❤

The penthouses worked very well as houses. The reason they were changed to office use was because the estates department wanted to close the centre overnight . Residential needs 24/7 access . Offices closed at 20.00

I feel so sad to see my Glasgow lost.... I feel old Hate it now Towering banks and full.of the usual corporate clothes and coffee shops,restaurants and cinemas ....and getting gentrified I love these women's voices and dialects Bittersweet

Her experience - and that of others in Dalmarnock - was a disgrace. Yet more social cleansing. Why did the housing association properties and shops need to be demolished? They haven't been replaced. I followed her story closely, as well as the behaviour of the local government politicians The latter were corrupt, arrogant and self serving. Thanks Chris for this. I'm glad Margaret is back - but she should be in a house she owns like she did before!

Sorry cant comment U tube wants to tell you what to say boycott utube

Brilliant video

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Its a bloomin shame what they did to the people of Dalmarnock 😢!!!!

Whoop whoop to the SNP....NOT !!!
