No Second City

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Glasgow is a city trapped by its past. Despite the advent of space age industries and new social policies, the cliched image remains of violence, football, dole queues and little else ... much to the dismay of native Glaswegians who view their city with a mixture of fierce pride and sardonic humour. Today HM The Queen visits Glasgow to take part in celebrations marking the bicentenaries of both the Glasgow Herald and the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce.
As an outsider - and there's no greater outsider in Glasgow than a man born in Edinburgh - Jack Regan takes a personal view of a town that was once the second city of the empire and that is struggling to outlive its tag of 'no mean city.'
