The Hidden Glasgow Forums

I couldn't agree with you more about cities changing, whether or not that makes them vibrant or simply prone to the whims of experimental commercial exercises is another thing. For example...ask yourself this question. Why during the enlightenment of the 60's and 70's did none of the tenement buildi...

there must be so many people in Glasgow who feel disenfranchized from the places that they used to know and love. IT makes me sad returning to Glasgow, because it is a city of memories of a kinder age, when people had consideration for one another. People seem so cold hearted now, and I'm not really...

ABsolutely ignorant and cold hearted that this building was demolished. Only in a commercially focused and cynical modern age would a building of such memorable and cultural value be demolished. IT makes me sad how the heart of Glasgow is constantly being erased by those eejits in the council chambe...

I'm not sure about Killer Clowns - sounds like the story was influenced by Stephen King's novel: IT, and Pennywise the killer demonic clown. There was also the infamous story of the popular clown paintings of the 1970's, which showed a clown's face with a single tear drop staring out from the frame....

LG 17"" monitor from 1997 (still works) Huge crap microsoft keyboard that an ex partner bought me after he smashed my old one (we're now firm friends) (the bonding of a failed relationship) A cheap cordless mouse that works sporadically a hideous copy of a victorian plant stand as a mouse station an...

Haven't the recent story lines become a little fractured? I always thought that Taggart was unbearabely tense for all the wrong reasons. That poor man's face always seemed so frought with pain and anguish. It turns out that it wasn't so far from the truth. In a city were human kindness seems to be g...

Hi, This is actually a perambulating tuxedo presser, that was used in occult ceremonies in the woods during the 1920's. Obviously, no pressing apparatus were available in the woods at the witching hour, so this devise was installed by Glasgow City Council, for worshipers of the Occult to press their...

Hi,
I used to lived in the Germiston high rise flats.
I grew up in them - (shudder). Not good karma.

He was a She, and we've never been to Dublin. Are you still going with the patholigical busker type scenario then? I didn't say it was gospel, only that it was a possibility, I have no idea what the truth is regarding the motivations of the graphic artist. I was merely passing on information that is...

Well: If you visited a park in childhood (say the beautiful victorian Richmond Park in Bridgeton) with wonderfull mature trees overlooking the intersecting pathways. If you loved that park and its proximity to the Clyde before it enters the city centre, and returned to the place you so loved in chil...

Hi, Is that really a genuine image, or enhanced? If it is genuine, I've never seen a better image of multiple orbs anywhere. Can we really believe that orbs are spirits from t'other side, or just flash anomolies and particles over exposures in the frame? Everyone who has photographed in the abandone...

Hello, Just to add another tangent on the urban myth trajectory regarding the eclectic spraying of the name: Al Jolson everywhere in the East end and centre of Glasgow. I was told many years back, that the ubiqutous spraying of this name in some of the most hauntingly obscure places(sometimes in par...

Hi, Discovered a fascinating website about ships from the Clyde shipyards that were bound for the East Africa line and others. Among them, is the ship the : Nevasa, a considerable liner which is still being used in the Fjords of scandinivia I believe. The Nevasa can be seen in the backdrop of a wond...

An episode of taggart was filmed here, with a famous english actress girating in one of the ionic tombs in a mere slip, whilst a wind machine pummeled her scantily clad frame. Also: a well known Glasgow university lecturer was known to frequent the area for "meetings" with like minded men. It is act...
