Fascinating Vintage Photos of Glasgow Streets in 1976

Ed Sijmons and his partner Louise took these pictures during their trip to Scotland in 1976. They visited Glasgow after spending time in Edinburgh and other places.

In Glasgow, we stayed a few days, starting at a most terrible B&B, followed by a few days with a very nice woman, in the same street! The first address had five rooms at least, and the second only one for B&B. It was a poor neighborhood, and so looked the whole of Glasgow. We liked it, but not too much. But after all, it was a really interesting city.
