  1. Thoroughly enjoyed this video, i recognised all of the streets you went around and wow the changes are unreal. I used to live above the Crystal Bell pub at the Gallowgate in 2002 and used to go to the Barras most weekends when it was still busy, loved the enclosed bits and the donut van. My dad used to have an outside stall at the Barras selling allsorts that he found at Carluke cowp, furniture, toys etc he used to polish em up and sell them for a few quid and made a small fortune on a Sunday. The Barras used to have a great atmosphere at the weekends in the late 70s and 80s, used to be a great day out. I can see what you mean with those new pavements, I can defo see them knocking the Barras down and building flats there. Its been ages since i've been to that area so really interesting to see all the changes. Your video has brought back so many great memories 👍it would be great to see you going to other parts of the city centre, the gorbals, west end etc, i really like your videos and i'm glad i found your channel 😎👍 Happy Easter guys.

  2. As a Bairn, I used to go to the Mussel shop beside the Barrowland with my Grandpa, and have a plate of mussels and whelks with a cup of Brae. My Grandpa used to run a stall in the Barrras for years, He used to live across the road at Millroad street.

  3. Wonderful to see The Barras. Thank you 🦋. If the pavements are being renewed, I don’t think the buildings will be demolished. They might be refurbishing (Hopefully)

  4. a lot of changes… i left glasow 20 years ago… watching your videos show me how much changes have been made… you made a video a while ago in parkhead lilybank area, you actually drove down the street i grew up and i didnt recognise it

  5. I remember the Barras when I was a kid !!! And the Brigget haha I lived in the gyto and dressed like a tramp but that was life I would never change it, good old 80s

    I left glesga 35 years ago i went to Aberdeen for a weekend and met my wife and been here since !! I miss glesga stayed in the drum then castlemilk then garthamlock ruff areas but i loved it

    See for the folks who would say if you came from garthamlock you would be nothings!!! Well i went on to work on the rigs 25 years and get married snd buy a house at 250k this isn't boasting in any way, my point is od nout in life but now have a good life ,everyone can charge there lifes

  6. Glasgow has become a Sterile City, you could be in any City in the UK. We have lost so much, Paddy's Market, Virginia St Market, the Barrows and so much more !!

  7. Find it sad that every place that brought people together like little communities with a special happy atmosphere they close down . It’s all replaced by modern retail parks that end up closing down because they are no atmosphere. It happened in Ayr which is now a dump and Kilmarnock which is also a dump . Councillors trying to justify there big wages by destroying local communities

  8. That was the best day out,I've being housebound for the last 4 years ,83 nearly and its been about 10 years since travelling around Glasgow with my late husband we were always out in the car coming from Gourock / -Greenock to the Barras and all around Glasgow and outskirts used the Rumbling Tum a few times and the other carry out shops for coffee and rolls it was great to travel up and down those streets again Bought many a roll of vinyl at the Barras , there was a wallpaper shop called Cappones and I could spend hours at the lace curtains stalls .I actually thought a couple of weeks ago that I'd never get to see the many places we travelled around but woke in the early hours and found your video so thanks for that unexpected and pleasurable trip .

  9. A forgot to say guys many a good night we had at gigs held at the Barras, seen The Smiths, Billy Idol, The Stranglers an The Cure there, brilliant nights and great atmosphere. When you were sat at the traffic lights at "12:27" just before London Road i didn't know they had built those new flats to the right side of the video. I can defo seeing them building more flats at that area. I just hope they don't knock down the Barrowlands Ballroom 😶you have a great knowledge for streets and the other good thing is folk can learn from your video tours like street names they never knew etc

  10. We better hope that the fkin Government's Muslims don't start fkin complaining about the Barras aswell coz the Government will have to do what there fkin told and cancel the Barras

  11. My god it hasnae half changed …I used to go up to the Barras every satuarday from around 1991 till 1999…I used to love wandering around the stalls ..you could spend hours there…I went back up in 2001 and it had started to go downhill ..it just wasn't the same place ..such a shame …brilliant video thanks 👍

  12. In the 1980/90 I used to go there every sat travel from Edinburgh and buy 1950/60 collectibles I loved it and still have lots of stuff that I bought there

  13. The last time that I was in the Barras , I bought my mother a Pat Boone record "Love Letters In the Sand" . That was in 1956 .It has changed a wee bit since then. Great Video as usual.😂
