I was a patient in Gartloch. I was sectioned because I kept saying Partick thistle would win the league. Only joking. But the staff were very dedicated and helped me cope with my situation. I enjoy your channel a lot. Wish I could come back to Glasgow and have a wee drive round with you. You should start a business as a tour guide driving people round. Anyway, it’s a good video. Thanks for taking the time to do these.
Gartloch Hospital, remember being dropped off their in 1987 when I was a student nurse on psychiatric placement from the GRI. Can't say I would have ever wanted to go back after that. The hospital was an imposing building but I couldn't say I was impressed by the care of the patients, particularly in the acute psychiatry area. More like a prison managed by warders. Looks like a small town has sprung up around it though I wouldn't want to live there considering the history of the place. Thanks Paul.
I was a patient there for a week in 1984. I had myself discharged after just a week. My ward (Acute Ward) can be seen straight ahead at 23:00. It was old fashioned: nurses in guard like uniforms, patients in gowns or pyjamas. Like One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Thanks for another trip down memory lane. Much appreciated. I couldn't believe where you started. I started drinking at the Casbah when I was still at the Lennie. Used to go over at dinner time. They weren't too particular as regards your age. Years later I remember a Scottish TV reporter describing the Casbah as "more like a derelict electricity sub-generating station than a local pub". But I liked it. The shops next to the Casbah used to have flats above them. I had a Council bed-sit there for a couple of years, the first place of my own. The school facing it has completely disappeared. Where you went along Provanhall was where I had a paper round in the mid-60's. I worked for the Cleannie for a short time in Easterhouse before transferring to Bell Street. I am pretty sure the local depot was on Wardie Road. Almost every street name carried memories for me.
Robert thankyou again for such a great comment, my granda was a local in the casbah,, this is most of my channel is about giving people memories back ,that aren't unable to see how it is today, when iam not in spain am in glesga filming,,, again Robert thankyou for taking the time to comment
Lived in 39 wardie at the shops. from 64 to 83 happy days easthall football pitch on a Sunday afternoon 15 a side 😂 could reminic for hours changed days remember the old 211 green bus to parkhead fighting on and aff the bus to go see the Celtic, there’s no soul anymore in skinheads😢 they were the best days of my life 60 years later still a easterhouse boy 😉
Daldowie my own Mother is buried when I was only 17, been away up to see her grave as my wee Glasgow woman was from Wellhoude,Easterhouse . My granny lived up Queenslie when a was to young to remember but always the best memories " wee Budgie flying a OOT" cos everyone like granny's & grandpas had always kept a budgie it was LAW . Love the footage amazing how Glasgow has became so nice we lived away over in kennishesd from the zHorbals in Hospital St, then at 3/4 moved cos they knocked doon the old got bald. Even with Oor own club in Sauchiehall St held coaches to Gartloch RAVES called Dessert Storms all-nighters buses outside Sub-Club ,Fury Murray's,RAIN above Nicos best RAVES awe Glasgow organisers from SLAM BOYS. We had a ball 🏴🏴🏴🏴
I enjoyed cruising around with you on that journey Paul. Your narration is relaxed and informative. I was in the British Army in the early 70's. I had a pal from Easterhouse, he told me if I ever come up to see him, I was to take a taxi and if he wasn't at home to take the same taxi and get off the scheme. He said I would be a target with my English accent. To preserve my good looks I never did visit Easterhouse, however, most of my working life I was a lorry driver and had many nights in Paisley and Renfrew. Never had any bother in Scotland, great pubs and friendly people. Bless you, keep up the good work.
Thankyou pal for your kind words ,,, personally looking back how the media played a roll in giving easterhouse a bad name in the past to me i think it was blown out of control probably with journalists not even lived in the glasgow schemes yet they know all about a place
I mind when I was in primary school I could see the turrets of the hospital in the distance, I used to think it was a Castle (I was 6 😂). Saint Thenogs primary I was at, it was scenic, countryside and a Castle I always thought. You’re right, what sicko would want to live in that place, i wouldn’t, it looks like yuppie territory now.
Aw you went up my childhood st. Auchingill Rd. I remember the casbah well. Was only ever in it once. I got ID'd when i was 21 and married. I laughed when you said the Buywell 😂
@@GerrardNelson The back court took in Auchingill Rd, Liff Place and Lochend Rd. I lived there from 1960 till about 1974. You're probably a lot younger than me tho.
Mon the Skinheeds a mind them fighting on Edinburgh Rd running battles,like us Arden , kennishesd,carneadric,Fighting the Preistholl lot for LAUGHS 🤣🤣🤣THANKS SO MUCH LOVED EASTERHOUSE GOOD PROPLE WHY I MARRIED ONE ❤️❤️❤️Sadly died at 57 covid & heart attack .THERESA WALLACE ,WELLHOUSE,son David her family were well known & her sister Margaret & Big Charlotte & Theresa's lad David Wallace & Stephen Fleming ( had few brothers & sisters some laughs ) GOOD MAN ALL THE BEST GREAT CONTENT HONESYLY AMAZING MEMERYS 🏴🏴🏴🏴

The tour around the Gartloch Hospital area was like an episode of Black Mirror.
