We'd love a trip back in time to experience some of these 😍
They say it was the decade that fashion forgot, but for some the 1970s would have been peak era Glasgow.
Everything from the way shopped, dressed and what we did for entertainment in the '70s was different. Sadly, some of the city's most fondly remembered places and attractions we enjoyed back then are now just a distant memory. 2. Meet your pals at Dino Ferrari In the 1970s, Italian eatery Dino Ferrari opened their huge new restaurant within the ground level of Empire House at Sauchiehall Street. Serving up the best Italian grub and situated slap bang in the city centre, Dino's soon became a rites of passage for a whole generation of Glaswegians and a great place to hang out and meet pals.
5. Browse the latest LPs at Listen Records If spending hours perusing records was your kind of thing, it’s more than likely you visited Listen Records at Renfield Street. The record store had rows and rows of vinyls covering all genres and was particularly popular in the 1970s. A place with a strong connection to the history of Simple Minds - who were the Sunday house band, it apparently changed its name to ‘The Countdown’ after threats from the chocolate bar makers.
11. Drinking Scotsmac at a Hogmanay Party No New Year's first footing in the 1970s was complete without a bottle of Scotsmac under your arm. The vile-tasting tonic, which was a mixture of wine and whisky, was probably about as good for your insides as drinking paint thinner, but it was cheap and got you sozzled quickly.
14. Go clothes shopping at Chelsea Girl The mere mention of ladies' clothing store Chelsea Girl is sure to spark pangs of nostalgia among Glasgow ladies of a certain age. In the 1970s and '80s, the much-loved fashion chain, which had a shop on Argyle Street, was very much the place to be and to be seen on a Saturday.
17. Attend a match at Hampden in a 100,000+ crowd In the early 1970s, Scotland's national football stadium Hampden Park was a 100,000-capacity ground that held - and indeed still holds - an impressively long list of UK, European and world attendance records.
