The Red Road Flats were once found between the housing districts of Balornock and Barmulloch in Glasgow's north east back when the estate originally consisted of eight multi-storey tower blocks.
Construction began on the flats in the 1960s with the new flats being hailed as solution to solve the city's slum housing issues.
After a long period of decline, the final flats were demolished in 2015 with the towers having been a prominent part of Glasgow's skyline for decades.
