Where did you grow up?
I have lived in Whiteinch all my life.
Earliest memory of Glasgow?
I can remember the Clyde Tunnel being built, and I was there with my school on the day it opened.
What school did you go to?
Whiteinch Primary, I started in 1964.
Favourite cinema?
We went to the Odeon in Whiteinch most Saturdays to see Flash Gordon, Superman…all the big movies. I think the first film I ever saw was Darby O’Gill and the Little People (a very early Sean Connery film).
Favourite local shop?
The Home Made Sweet Shop on Dumbarton Road – puff candy, snowballs, a penny tray fill of sweets.
Where did you go dancing?
I went to Clouds disco, above the Glasgow Apollo, and Shuffles on Sauchiehall Street.
Best thing about living in Glasgow?
I have stayed in the same place in Whiteinch all my life – the same street for 63 years. It’s still a great wee place and I have some magic memories.
