Trainspotting was filmed there.

“...marched from the loyalist pub....”
Yep, I suspected adult beverages would be involved.
This is Scotland. Adult beverages are always involved.

This story needs to be benchmarked against other Friday and Saturday nights in Glasgow, where a Glaswegian kiss is a head butt. Tough city, tough toughs.
Huh.
Turns out Scotland is full of “Amish” — who knew?
It is a tough city divided already along religious lines. Add this.
We’re entering an age of violence. Glad I’m armed for when the THUGS take over.
Actually, it was Edinburgh. Yes, the more refined city:-)
Yeah Glasgow.....where the males keel over with heart attacks around age 55...
