Some amazing general views of the city, shot from a moving car in 1962. We start on the south bank of the Clyde, and then head into the city centre. #glasgow #history #1960s

I took advantage of a rare visit to the office today to capture a few shots of Alexander Thomson's Egyptian Halls, scaffolding-free after almost 20 years. With the street reopening next week, and new scaffolding going up to facilitate repairs, who knows when we might see it again

Here's a wee curiosity from 1978. Supposedly a local from Peter Keenan's Stable Bar setting off to cycle all the way to Argentina for the World Cup on his bike in 1978. It all feels a bit acted, although I don't immediately recognise the main man. 📷 STV #Glasgow #WorldCup

A tantalising snippet of 35mm footage showing Glasgow Central Station at night time in the 1960s. If you look below the electronic ad screens, you'll see the old manual Caledonian Railway destination boards. 📽️ Kinolibrary #glasgow

Fraser's decorated to the nines, and the famous Lewis's window displays captivating Glasgow youngsters in December 1984. I remember the trip into town every Christmas from Nitshill, and the excitement of walking up Argyle St marveling at Lewis's famous Christmas windows. 🎥 STV
