Old Glasgow on film

For a fascinating peek into life in bygone Glasgow, including the West End and the University,  The Scottish Screen Archive has some fabulous film clips, such as a  Sunday morning  promenade along Great Western Road in 1915; some 1948 Lectures at Glasgow University and a beauty contest in the Botanic Gardens, around 1970

There is also a clip from Tam Trauchles Troubles, in which two boys exasperate their father in their tenement house as he tries to keep up with their antics.  This is an example of fund raising appeal films produced for the Glasgow Necessitous Children’s Holiday Camp Fund

Scene from tam-trauchle

The Scottish Screen Archive preserves over 100 years of Scottish history on film and video,  and this material  can be of great benefit to students in Film/TV Studies  and Economic and Social History

  1. I do accept as true with all the ideas you’ve offered on your post. They’re very convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very brief for beginners. May just you please extend them a little from next time? Thank you for the post.
