Though originally from the South (Guernsey to be exact), I lived in Glasgow for 12 years and loved it. Met my wife, from Ireland, there were married and our 3 children were all born there. We then emigrated to Canada in 1962. Life has been good here for us and I am now retired, living near our younger son and his family in London.
When we left Glasgow it was dirty but the people were wonderful as indeed is the surrounding countryside; since then I have made several holiday visits and seen something of animprovement in the appearance of the City!! I used to be involved with an amateur drama club called the Iona Players - wonder if they still exist? And of course I remember the Citizens Theatre - does it still exist?
I would love to go back sometime to see it all again - but in the meantime my wife and I still enjoy things Scottish and especially the recent, soon to end, Monarch of the Glen, the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra and, just recently, a PBS film called Over Scotland.
Well, I had better stop though I could say more.
