While I can't be arsed to look up the figures, wasn't the population of Glasgow about 3 times what it is now?

Like if you live in a 1 bed tenement flat, when it was built it would typically have housed 4 to 6 people (husband, wife, children and probably grandparents). This also meant you didn't really spend any time in your home apart from for eating and sleeping, as it was too cramped (and what would you do anyhow, other than wait 93 years for the SNES to come out, or 92 if you knew the proprietors of Messrs Gee & Force).

Now think of how busy that means the streets must typically have been.
