>That there's an intact village (called Grahamston) underneath Central Station.

No, it's not below the station. The Grant Arms and the Rennie Mackintosh Hotel were Grahamston buildings.


>That killer clowns driving blue Ford Transit vans drove round parts of the East End, kidnapping children and giving them a 'Chelsea smile'

This is one of those "mass hysteria" urban legends which is reported all over the UK.


>There were townhouses in Sauchiehall Street, known as Albany Place, and which somewhat still exist. Many of the buildings you see today were built in the gardens of these townhouses, with the original buildings right behind them. I believe that these are near to where the McLennan Galleries archway is/was(?).

There is still a terrace of houses behind the block containing the Driftwood Bar: https://goo.gl/maps/sBwDNsah4WZ8NZHr7
There is also the remains of a facade further up inside the CCA.
