The East End of Glasgow is the most authentically Glaswegian and down-to-earth spot in the city - as many of the people that grow up there will tell you.
Today we wanted to take a look back at old pictures of Dennistoun, Calton, the Gallowgate, and the rest of the East End to check out a bit of Glaswegian heritage.
The East End hosts a broad swathe of Glaswegian culture - from the ancient heart of the city on High Street and Castle Street - to the musical and retail hub that is the Barras.
All images were supplied via the Mitchell Library’s online collection - The Virtual Mitchell and the Glasgow City Archives - you can see more old pictures, stories, and more from across Glasgow in the archives by clicking here.
