This video was shot on 1st January 2006 in Rutherglen, Glasgow, Scotland, UK.

Stan Laurel of 'Laurel and Hardy' fame lived in Rutherglen for a while as a boy and attended Stonelaw School, which later in 1925 became Rutherglen Academy and closed for good in 1970.

  • Burnside has rarely changed, apart from the shops. Safeway been replaced by Somerfield the last time I was there. The awful dank and dark entrance to Burnside station is gone, thankfully. Attended Burnside primary for six months between Jan and June '65. Dougie Donnelly was in my year and later found fame as TV presenter/journalist.

    Burnside Hotel changed. I started drinking there at the age of (ahem) of 17 when it had a huge bar area.

  • Interesting about Dougie Donnelly. Since then the most significant changes to Burnside have been an off-sales, where The Locarno Cafe used to be, and a betting shop just up from it on the south side of Highburgh Drive. In the 1960's these would have been unthinkable. Also, prior to Safeway and Somerfield, there was The Rule Cinema. Accordingly, some say that in recent years Burnside has gone rather downmarket. If so, maybe soon an ice cream van will fortify this impression.

    Anyone...?
