    Thank you. I hope to visit some day soon. I came over but before I knew where my family came from so I did not visit Glasgow or any of the areas around it.

  • @Gimmer3 you came fae gud stock!

  • My ancestors came from Govan

  • I think the queen was in Govan to open the riverside walkway - theres a plaque there. Govan looks so clean and bright in this clip, not anymore, but its improving.
