Grew up in the Gorbals was born in 86 so seen the remnants of the 80s violence and the 90s and early 00s were wild also.
I stayed up the notorious Stirlingfauld flats where the cumbie roamed there was a lot of junkies alkys and just rank deprivation.
It's a miracle I'm not a junkie in jail or dead myself.
Strathclydes finest banned us from the city centre at weekends and I still take some pride from that we really ran the toon for a fair number of years. |
