Re: DVD of Glasgow East End documentaries from 1982/83

Aye, they disappeared off Vimeo long ago. Someone told me they got copies from a DVD stall in the Barras but that was a few years ago now.

Re: Hospitals & Asylums

Sanctuary quietly offered tours to 200 people on Sunday morning there - not as part of the official Doors Open Day weekend, I only spotted it in an Evening Times article in which you had to email to request a time. Was just a short wander round, but interesting nonetheless. They said they were quite...
