'As I Cam Thro Sandgate'

In this illustrated talk by Lit & Phil member and City Guide Pat Lowery, looks at the old Sandgate area of the Quayside with its memories of coal, keelmen, ballast hills, soap and glass, right up to the present day.
As I came thro' Sandgate,
Thro' Sandgate, thro' Sandgate,
As I came thro' Sandgate,
I heard a lassie sing:
"O, weel may the keel row,
The keel row, the keel row,
O weel may the keel row
That my laddie's in."
