As a Student at the then Nautical College - Gorbals in 1997 was my first exp of Glasgow. The Kwiksave near the postoffice and Jimmys Curry near the Brazen Head. The Celtic Fans around the place. No mobiles ! the small clydesdale bank around the bridge. Just Fun times. I hope to return and visit soon.

I came from Florence Street and left in 1967 and moved to Hutcheston Town Court until I got Married in 1974 I'm still in Glasgow up at Crookston now, but I'll always be a Gorbals Guy. 😊

My Grandaddy lived in The Gorbals before he emigrated to The States - In the posh part i think - He used to throw pennies out the window of his big car to the poor kids - Just imagining it brings a tear to my eye

4:43 I think that’s the Greek Thompson church at the junction of Cathcart & Caledonia Roads? Would have been a better video if you’d put some info in the description.

Become a Muslim or tell them your transgender or just make up something that makes you easily offended and you’ll get a house in the gorbals. But if your from the Gorbals born and bread consider yourself white Scottish/British and in full time employment you’ve no chance.

People brought up in the gorbals can’t get a house in it for immigrants. New gorbals housing are a joke

The gorbals do look like a proper shi hole back in the day. There's crap lying around everywhere. Nobody think of cleaning some of that shit up?

@@williamf4544 If there's litter left outside my house I pick it up and put it in the bin. I don't understand why people don't want to make where they live better. These days they expect someone else to do it like the council. They're happy to complain though.

Yes thats so true - same with shops as you seldom see anyone sweeping the fron of shop doorways - I have even seen cafes put out theit little tables and chairs on top of a whole load of trash rather than sweep it up first - Its the "its not my job" mindset@@BillyBobDingo1971

The way I look at it is if I was fleeing death in my own country which wasn't my fault in the first place then I would hope to be accepted graciously in another country where the Govt has agreed to settle us. History does repeat itself and hopefully your descendants will be far more tolerant of other nationalities. Here in NZ we are used to opening our doors to many ethnic groups and the diversity has far more positives than negatives. Hard working people establishing their own businesses with children out-performing in schools. And why...because they know how hard it is to make it in this racist world.

Ingrid Lowrie First of all those non Muslim killer statistics are made up by liberals and also I believe all religions are bad, as they cause to many problems thus why I'm an atheist, all's I'm saying is out of every religion Muslim is the most brutal.
