'Glasgow made the Clyde, and the Clyde made Glasgow' was a popular local saying in the heyday of the shipbuilding industry. \n\nThe Theatre Royal is supposed to be haunted by the ghost of a former cleaner called Nora. She had hopes of becoming an actress, but when she realised that her dream would never come true she threw herself to her death from the upper circle of the theatre, and now haunts the building by slamming doors. \n\nBy the time of St Mungo's death in AD612, Glasgow may have been little more than a line of mud huts straggling southwards from the church on the site where the cathedral now stands. From Townhead you can look down the length of the High Street to the Tolbooth and the Mercat Cross, around which the medieval market town developed. \n\nGlasgow Cathedral survives almost intact from medieval times and is said to be the most complete in Scotland, having lost only its western towers, which were dismantled in the 19th century. \n\nContaining fascinating local facts, ghost stories, local recipes, sporting anecdotes and questions on your local history, and illustrated with evocative photographs selected from the world-famous Francis Frith Collection, this book will challenge your local knowledge, and provide amusing and enjoyable insights into your local history and heritage.
