What a disaster, young babies, children ,and people of various ages condemned to dying in a building that should have been demolished years before, so very very sad. 😢

[@scotlandshistory]

It was ridiculous that safety checks weren't done, but that was the way of it back then. Thank you so much for watching.

That is so sad. So many lives. It’s the children that are the most upsetting. May they all RIP 😢❤
