Description
Gorbals and Oatlands is a nostalgic account of the author's childhood in Glasgow's south side. The book explores life in the old tenements buildings through poems, personal stories, and songs sung in the streets.
The author reflects on the carefree days of their youth, where energy was spent playing outdoors with no modern distractions like computers or mobile phones. This collection aims to evoke happy memories for those who lived through similar times, as well as share a piece of history with future generations.
