The Bells of Saint Mungo, Old Glasgow stories rung out anew; by AG Callant (1888)

Glimpses of Old Glasgow; by Andrew D. Aird (1899)

Are two that I go back to most often, but there's lots of good sources out there.

[Trades House Online Library](https://www.tradeshouselibrary.org/) has tons of amazing reading material and even just [Archive.org](https://archive.org/) can throw up some good results by searching the books. Particularly useful on that is the old Post Office Directories.

And if you like maps then the [National Library of Scotland is the place to go](https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/spy/#zoom=15&lat=55.85733&lon=-4.24280&layers=193&b=1&r=30) ... I've got that link set to Glasgow with an OS map 1949-1969 set on spyview, which lets you mouse over the current map of today to see what was there back then. Change the settings and overlays as desired. Lots of fun :)
