A FIRST World War epic co-written by Glasgow’s own Krysty Wilson-Cairns, right, scooped two honours at the 77th Golden Globe Awards.
With scenes featuring Govan’s Graving Docks, the war film tells a tale of two young soldiers tasked to deliver a message that could save hundreds of lives.
Krysty took to Twitter to share her joy after the film’s success.

She said: “So many incredible men and women worked on this film. I’m lucky and immensely proud to be one of them.”
In yesterday’s Glasgow Times, we revealed how Krysty used to watch as Taggart was filmed in Govan. She said: “I went every day in the summer holidays and
I kept hanging around and eventually they gave me odd jobs.”
The film was named best film drama and director Sam Mendes also picked up the award for best director at the Los Angeles ceremony.
1917 will be released on Friday.
