    I remember the cheapside fire, and the woolworths in Argyle street. Another at an upholstery factory in Parkhead where some of the people died stuck behind barred windows, truly shocking.

      I'm hoping to do the Cheapside fire at some stage, as well as the Parkhead one. It was horrific what happened to those poor people. Thank you so much for watching the video.

    I have noticed memorial markers on the ground around the city centre and down the Clyde regarding fires in the citys past, lots of lives were lost.

      It was terrible for them. It must've been so frightening too. Thank you so much for watching.

    I have to admit, I didn't know that there were so many great fires in Glasgow. The Weegies are a hardy bunch.

      @@scotlandshistory I might be a wee bit biased though. My folks and grandparents were all Weegies.

    That was fascinating. It was just so easy for fires to start and spread. I wonder what became of the poor hapless souls who started them? I think even the apprentice deserved some mercy, but imagine having to live with that.

      They must've felt so guilty for what happened. It was truly awful. Thank you so much for watching.

    Its amazing how many big fires there was in all the big citys all over earth around about the same time 🤔

      They were all highly flammable at the time as they were mainly made of wood and thatch. Thank you so much for watching.

      Accidents happen, and they helped with the clean up. Thank you for watching.
