    Born and brought up in Clydebank from 1973 until I left in 2002, I still return as often as I can and visit the old haunts. Once a Bankie always a Bankie

    Seeing Clydebank High School turns my blood cold, among the worse years of my life in that shit school.

      If you had failed your 11+ and went to Edinbarnet Secondary in the 60s, things would have been even worse, boys got belted several times a day almost everyday.

    Thank you for sharing this video, I showed it to my mother and it made her so happy to see her entire life flash back through these videos, she was talking for hours about each scene and the memory she had from that place. It was lovely to see her that way so thank you. :)

    Fab, the Clydebank of my childhood. No Fire Station or Funeral Directors at the boulie roundabout, no big mental roundabouts on the A82 or at the Hardgate...Bandstand in the park gone now but not forgotten. Thanks for this, happy memories. :)
