The 10-minute film proved a huge hit with wartime cinema audiences 🎥

Captured during the Second World War, it captures a priceless glimpse of a Glasgow that is fast fading from living memory.

Famous Glasgow landmarks, some lost, others still standing, are recognisable as the film takes us along the major thoroughfares of the city centre. In the modern age, we are well-accustomed to seeing beatific shots of the city and its environs on the likes of Instagram and other social media. In the 1940s, however, people seemed genuinely surprised to discover just how jaw-droppingly gorgeous Glasgow could be through a lens.
