The photos capture city life as it was in the Swinging Sixties.

Over the course of the decade much of Glasgow was rendered anew as dilapidated inner city tenements came crashing down in favour of modern tower blocks and sprawling housing developments on the outskirts of the city. It was also an era in which we waved farewell to the trams, said hello to The Beatles and the beat group explosion, and watched as our once mighty shipyards launched some of the last big ships.
