I have tried to give my story about our Glasgow through its people
and buildings, and other aspects of my book. I hope you will find
it a fascinating read. Whether we stayed in Glasgow or emigrated,
we all have one thing in common: "We Belong Tae Glasgow."
Come with me on a walk through old Oatlands, street-by-street, back
to that time when our old tenements were still standing. Where we
had so many shops to choose from, to a time when people had more
time for each other. Where we all knew each other and we all helped
each other, and where we had our very own Richmond Park on our
doorstep. And where all of us weans were loved unconditionally.
Back to that place we loved, this was oor Oatlands, " Once upon a
time."
With the collapse of the back elevation of our tenement we were
shipped out to one of those new housing schemes being built on the
outskirts of Glasgow and I hated leaving the soo-side behind. I
kept going back for this is where I felt I belonged. In this book I
have tried to keep alive those memories that people of my
generation can all relate to, just ordinary everyday things we all
done in the Gorbals and Oatlands and which are forever embedded in
our minds, not forgetting walks over to the toon either. I left
Glasgow when I was 20 years old (48 years ago) but like most
exiles, Glasgow has never left us.
Everyone has good memories of their growing up, and mine was a
wonderful one of my childhood in the era of the old tenements
buildings in the Gorbals and Oatlands area in the south side of
Glasgow. Every day for us was like an adventure with so many things
to do and our street games could last all day long (especially in
the school summer holidays). There were no computers, video games
and mobile phones etc in those days and TV was only in its infancy,
so all our energy was spent playing out in the open. In my book I
try to tell our story of what life was like in that era through my
poems, peoples stories and songs we sang in the streets. All this,
I hope, brings back happy memories to people of my generation who
lived through these times, and a future generation that I want to
leave my memories with.
