It’s true to say that Glasgow was the place to be in 2014 as the eyes of the world were fixed upon the dear green place.
Everything was happening in the city 12 years ago and we wanted to take a look back at some of the main events. If you mention 2014 and Glasgow, people will instantly say the Commonwealth Games. Although that was the main showpiece event, there was much more going on.
It was a time when we partied hard on Sauchiehall Street, discovered unknown musicians from North Shields and also headed to the polling stations.
Here are 8 nostalgic pictures of Glasgow in 2014 when the city last hosted the Commonwealth Games.

6. Partied at JellyBaby
Jellybaby ran a ‘hefty blend of pop, indie, electro, rock and dance’ music from resident DJs every Thursday night - running from 2009 right up until one of the greatest modern Glaswegian tragedies, the second Art School fire of 2018, brought the O2 ABC to ruin. The first Art School fire took place in May 2014. | JellyBaby
