A friend recently suggested that we do a series of posts on previous (and current) residents of Strathbungo which I thought was an excellent idea. He suggested that we have Alexander (Greek) Thomson, Charles Rennie MacKintosh, Ivor Cutler, H E Clifford, Gavin Stamp and Helena Kennedy – each of whom we could do a short profile on and note their connection to Strathbungo. Rather than me write up the posts I suggest that others write something and post to the blog (or I can do it if you are not technically minded). So if you know of any famous previous residents of Strathbungo and particularly of your house/apartment do write up something for the blog. Alternatively if you have the names of other famous Strathbungo residents but don’t want to write anything, do drop me a line (or leave a comment to this post) saying who they are and when they were here.

The late Mark McManus (the original Taggart) used to live in the area in the early eighties, as my wife used to see him in the offsales near Frixos the greek delicatessen from time to time.
My wife & I have happy memories of Marywood Square where we started our life together in 1982. We’re now in Barrhead where hopefully the subsidence is less. Glad to hear that something is being done about the old mine workings, I remember the afternoon Nancy Granet’s garage vanished into a hole in the ground.
