Not only has Glasgow produced some incredible personalities, it has
also been witness to some of the greatest happenings of our times.
These outstanding people and epoch-making events are featured in
Glasgow: Tales of the City. As a result of painstaking research,
some startling new facts have emerged about the life and times of
some of the city's most interesting characters. The many
individuals documented in this book include the world's greatest
pilot, whose many flying feats are still held in great awe today
and unlikely ever to be repeated. He was hailed as a hero in
America, they gave a him a ticker-tape reception in New York and
Hollywood begged him to be a star. More recently, Glasgow was
popularised by a TV programme about the city's tough police officer
Taggart. The role of the Glasgow detective made Mark McManus one of
Scotland's first international TV stars, and Mark's own life story
makes equally compelling reading. Before Billy Connolly, Glasgow's
greatest-ever comedian was Lex McLean. He smashed all the
box-office records in a Glasgow theatre and became a legend in his
own lifetime. His story has never before been told in such detail.
This is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating studies of
Scotland's largest city ever published.
