Glasgow City Centre has become an absolute filthy mess of a city full of drugged out zombies from all over the country. It really is a terrible place to be now. Needles everywhere because the chemist's hand out drug kits to junkies sponsored by the snp and nhs, the multitude of "not for profit" homeless shelters are a sham and all about profit and mothing to do woth providing safe sleeping conditions, the multistorey car park staff are having to clean up needles and piss amd shit, the retail staff need to deal with massive amounts of shop lifting and nobody does a thing about it. Its a shambles. Glasgow city council is the most uselss corrupt council in the UK

What they did to my city!

Very interesting to see. I learnt a lot here. / 14:24 I can't see it being said as saw-chee, but sawch as in loch. Anything -ch in Scots will be that sound. I had read before the haugh (pron: "haw") or hauch is correct and hall is a mistaken translation.

@13.10.., The Beresford. In the early 70's I was a student at Strathclyde, and stayed in the Beresford, Baird Hall as it was known then, for my first year away from home. I shared a 4th floor room with another student, that overlooked the building you mentioned as G2. The Beresford at that time was painted in something akin to battleship grey. Lovely to see it restored to the original colours that really show the beautiful Art Deco Streamline Moderne style. I can't recall the exact buildings, but in that stretch, same side of the road, that ran the 150 or so yards to Charing Cross, there was a nightclub called the Electric Garden, and also a Curzon cinema.., Curzon Classic, I think. Thank you for posting this video. A fascinating account of some of the Street's history.

Glasgow is shinished

Can I shoot with D Log M with this settings

Ohh. I didn’t know the history of the McLennan arch. Thanks. Side note, this voice over is much easier listening than the sauchiehall st one 😄

Once a vibrant interesting city what is presented here is a “dump”!,what a great pity!! The kindest people in the world by the way

Born and bred here, the city is a dump. Snp goosed it. Tried to hard to modernise it.

What a dump.

Really good mate

This was helpful. Thanks 🙂

Well produced and informative vide about a street which, let's face it, is not totally pretty. You are right about 'haugh' becoming 'hall' it is reckoned that 95% of Scottish placenames ending in hall were once haughs. If only the people who invent gaelic translations of placenames new this...

It is a toilet, Argyll St the same, both holes.

Always good to see low light shots with this camera although I’m not sure why you chose the settings you did. You could have brought your ISO down much lower and compensated by choosing 25fps and 1/50th shutter speed. Much less potential for noise that way.

Does no-one edit AI commentaries? Such mispronounciations!

Another AI commentary!

Just came across this first class video Many Thanks

You must have some kind of mist filter on this

You missed out the Glasgow Dental Hospital and Schoo. Miss McClatchie saved my teeth in 1970 there

Is the first clip iso 50-3200?

We need someone like him in Economics to show the “Government“ how it should be done. Morale’s and enlightened as to the human life in every day life, He was named as “The Father of Modern Economics” and should still be used as a guiding figure in life today especially in local government and, the UK parliament! I learned about his books while studying Business Administration and found his thinking as fair and enlightened. The greed and power grabs worldwide by those who should know better is shameful and kills the Economy of most countries of the world today (2024).

I saw Echo and the Bunnymen, and Yazoo at Tiffany's about 1980 then Nazareth about 1982/3. After that I thought it had changed to Zanzibar.

Clouds disco on the top floor of the Apollo theatre was also a great place.

Glasgow city Centre and overall it’s just becoming just rubbish there is nothing anything not good as it just to be

Very nice video. Nice place is Glasgow and people how live they very nice to people

Tiffany's was wild in the 70's, I had words with a guy from Drumchapel one Saturday night, he had a sword on him!

The Locarno was still The Locarno until the late 1960s. I saw Cream there in 1967. Also The Stax Tour, in 1967; The Who, in 1966 and 67; The Move, too. Also Glasgow bands like Dean Ford and The Gaylords, who became Marmalade. I also went ballroom dancing there - many of us in our teens and twenties could dance ballroom, as well as the latest dance crazes. Glasgow had lots of dance halls and clubs and all with great live bands/groups.

Loved Joe papparazis in 89 to 90s fake id blackcurrant and cider for a quid , lazers with dance music beforehand nice n sleazy for pre drinks ❤ happy happy memories then back to my mates in shawlands for 2 hrs sleep then up again

Love the Fyfe Robertson style voice over

If you would like to give a tip for the tour you can do so by clicking the 'Thanks' button. It would be greatly appreciated and would help me to be able to make more videos like this. 🙂

I left Glasgow in 1969, without returning to the city until many years later. Returning and seeing the mess left at Charing Cross totally disoriented me. Apart from the older facades which are still there, and my ignorance/disinterest of a 22 year old me, Sauchiehall street is junky and not much is notable. I can't say I think much of the bar/ club scene, which these days would give a big yawn. I used to take Saturday morning drawing classes in the Rennie MacIntosh building, which was a really impressive place. One of the highlights of my teen years!

Loving the tour so far (8.09) Fantastic. Have subscribed and look forward seeing more of your excellent tours.

Loved the old corporation buses! It's all a building site now

Very interesting 👍

Good informative piece. Thanks for posting it.

Great video… but why the cone on his head? Is it ridicule?

Britain is not a country

A once great street is looking run down like so many of the towns and cities of the UK in 2024

Charing Cross in Glasgow should be pronounced as Chairing Cross. In fact the narrator mispronounced a number of Glasgow Place names.

Great video. I like the detail and the overlaying of old pictures/ drawings to help imagine how it looked in the past

I always enjoy walking through the city and looking up at the phenomenal architecture. Love the video!

Thanks for your video! When you remove digital sharpening it looks positive. The guy in the video reminded me of what a hyena laughs like on the savannah

the shuffles it was f--king magic who remembers the shuffle walk

Interesting but need to get a better narrator

That was a fantastic and very interesting look a Sauchiehall Street. I love learning about the history of my town.

Good stuff! You missed out the CCA (Which you mentioned earlier), it merging with the old Cotton Club and when G2 was The Venue. I don't know if The Brunswick Cellars are still there but they no doubt have some history associated with them. I'm looking forward to the Rose Street to Buchanan Street follow up video. In fact a wealth of stories of the fires from Charing Cross to Buchanan Street (With a quick extra detour down Pitt street to see another John Burnet building, Elgin Place Congregational Church, would be worthwhile. So many fires in so short a time on that street. Worth nothing that a helicopter crashed into he Charing Cross mansions at the Woodlands Road side. Add to that the Pollok Park crash and the Clutha Vaults crash and we could have another interesting look down unfortunate similar disasters within Glasgow. Keep up the good work and I'll keep on watching it :)

nice one! thanks for the tour. what camera did you use?

Really I travel to Milan Florence Rome and Bologna but now Glasgow is miles better!
