www.amazon.co.uk/Scotlands-Wildest-Bank-Robber-Glasgows-ebook/dp/B08QDS7QQH
As a young man in Glasgow’s underworld, Ian ‘Blink’ MacDonald earned a reputation for fighting and stabbing his enemies. After refusing to work for Arthur "The Godfather" Thompson, he attempted to steal £6 million in a high-risk armed bank robbery.
While serving 16 years, Blink met the torture-gang boss Eddie Richardson, the serial killer Archie Hall, notorious lifer Charles Bronson and members of the Krays.
After his release, his drug-fuelled violent lifestyle created conflict with the police and rival gangsters. Rearrested several times, he was the target of a gruesome assassination attempt.
Blink provides an eye-opening account of how he survived gangland warfare, prisons, stabbings and bombs.
best wishes

Hi Ian. Every time I watch one of your vids I keep getting flashbacks to my past. I'm a McDonald..went to Smithy about 10 years before you..and as Charlie said @8 minutes I lived round the corner from the family..21 Croon st above Hurrels bar. My memory is getting a bit foggy but some things are still as sharp as a 20 year old. Charliesou ..Roystonhill facing the canal ...I swam in it 60 odd years ago...and survived. Best wishes from the sunny side of the Hill.
Same, am from Castlemilk originally but stay up north now, love seeing these videos of the city as a dont get back much.
