Swallowed up in the Victorian expansion of the city, the South Side of Glasgow contains a myriad of small villages and small communities, each still with their own identity, history and traditions. This is their story. From the Dark Age burial ground of the Kings of Strathclyde at Govan to the Crossmyloof Ice Rink, the area south of the Clyde is a fascinating cross section of Scotland's past and a mine of extraordinary anecdote, personalities and legends.
