    The city of Taggart; Astonishing Glasgow ep59



    It is just over 40 years since Chief inspector Taggart hit our TV screens and I wondered how much of Astonishing Glasgow had changed. Would he recognise his city now?
    Follow me for a cycle around Glasgow while I visit as many Taggart filming locations as possible over two days and I take a walk in his footsteps.
    Along the way I will be sharing some history and places of this great city.

    This is an extra long episode of Astonishing Glasgow and I really hope it wont be demonetized for using clips from the TV show.

      My dad used to drink with Mark McManus and I went to school with Alex Norton, so that concludes my Taggart history. I really enjoy your trips around Glasgow, it brings back many memories.

      I’ve spent the last 6 years working with Vince at Dobbies Garden Centre. He was such a lovely, genuine soul and I’ll miss him so much. I still remember walking into a shift and seeing him and thinking to myself… that guy looks just like Vincent Friell….little did I know I’d become a colleague and friends with the Wolfman. Rest in peace Vinnie 😢xxxxx

      Dressing goon or goonie. I really enjoyed that video. When I was a student living in a bedsit in Corunna St, the Taggart team fished a body out of our communal bin area😂. They also filmed one of the stories at Gean House, which was an hotel in my home town (Alloa). Would have been in winter 91/92. I mind the excitement at school when 'Mike Jardine' was spotted buying a sandwich in Woolies😂. I think Hannah Gordon was the main suspect. I also used to work with a former actress who played a Taggart villain, owning a dodgy IVF clinic😅.

      Crazy how much Scotland has changed.

      I remember walking over the swing bridge in the first clip while they were filming a scene for a later episode. The crew weren't happy that i wouldn't go round the long way as i would have been late for work.

      I have not been to Glasgow for quite a while now, I have retired to Spain. I was born in (1960)and raised in Springburn ( Petershill). I left Springburn in 1981. it used to be a fantastic place and good memories as a boy. It's so depressing looking at how much they have destroyed the place. The Cemetery also looks to have deteriorated, Anyway, there has been some good work done around the city with the new buildings. Good video mate, bye from sunny Spain.😊

      This is brilliant, but now I'm on a taggart worm hole on the stv app, trying to guess the locations!
