Glasgow 1991

[@ScottishScott2024]

I grew up in Rutherglen, so it was great to see a bit of the southside. In my first job after school, I had to deliver stationary to the Glasgow School of Art, which was always a joy. The whole building is just awesome, a masterpiece.

[@asaidweeman28]

The 90s and 2000s were good times for Glasgow, albeit sustained by a global property bubble that eventually collapsed. Its been doonhill since.

[@ralph3428]

God I miss this Glasgow….the playbarn and the flats was our hangout joint

[@sobo5476]

The thing that stood out to me, was the lack of cars, nowadays it's just cars everywhere.

[@mariamatonti3809]

The Burrell museum's amazing from the point of view, this contains 1 man's collection, so vast it can't all B displayed @ once & they rotate some of it. There's also a replica of the living rm he had in his castle. It all started when his dad gave him money 2 buy a cricket bat & he bought a painting instead.

[@therealscottadamsTM]

Of course the Greek Thompson church is still standing, it's a listed building.

I love seeing old footage of city’s I grew up around, thanks for posting and also it’s bittersweet you managed to capture the charles rennie mackintosh building at 3:06 because that’s a real moment in time you both captured there considering the building always sadly destroyed in a fire last year, a true landmark of Glasgow gone forever..

[@Revolver1981]

They're going to fully rebuild and restore the building.

[@bugsymalone1660]

Vey interesting, I’m assuming that the lady in the film either was Glasgow born before moving to North America or here parents were & you both visited family members still living in or around the city. The drive down Rosebery St was particularly interesting as I was driven down it many times myself as a child because my mother grew up living on that street & would often go back, it’s now gone completely and the area redeveloped. Rosebery st fell under the Oatlands area.

[@danielward7008]

It was criminal how they tore down all the historic old buildings in areas such as the Gorbals only to replace them with ugly tower blocks that barely lasted a generation.

[@NEWCASTLE.UNITED.]

They didnt last because the people they put in them didnt care
