The History of the University of Glasgow 

Hope you've spotted my deliberate (ahem!) error: the old college site on the High Street was sold to the City of Glasgow Union Railway Company in 1863, not 1663.

Thank you for your fascinating documentary. I want to continue my education on UOG this summer & I am really so excited about it. ❤🌹🙏

What a great watch, fascinating history and beautiful buildings. Have you ever come across pictures of Gilmorehill/Kelvin Grove park prior to construction/creation. I walk the area most days and would love to see what it once looked like. It is hard to imagine the University not ever being there.

New buildings are no comparison to the original. Loved this video ta Ed ❤

Very interesting mini-documentary with illuminating historical docs & photos. If I were the U of G, I’d want to add this to my promo materials!

Thanks Eddie I always look forwards to you videos they are entertaining and very informative, I was walking down the high street the other week and noticed a "New "plaque on a old section of wall further down the road opposite The Black Bull Pub that said that the archway was an entrance to the University this puzzled me as I always assumed that the University would have been further up the high street opposite the Old Collage Bar sadly burned down recently it was opposite the Collage goods yard there is as you will no doubt know , remains a section of its wall on Duke Street. It is very important that we remember and record the changes in our City . A wee PS further on up the road Where the High Street and Castle Street merge is another of these "New" plaques explaining that this was one of the walls from Duke Street prison a short walk down from the plaque you can still see the bullet holes from a infamous incident where there was an attempt to spring a IRA member from custody he was being transported from the court in the Saltmarket, during the attempt a police officer was fatally wounded. PPS I work in the School of Engineering in the University and enjoy learning about its and Glasgow's history keep up the good work! Best regards John

My old Uni.

What an inspiring short film. I LOVE the music. Which I realise at the credits is your own. Somehow, the flow of images, transitioning from drawings to photographs, make me feel almost as though I have a wee 'peep' at a Glasgow long ago.

this is lovely!!! thank you for making this:D

I love your videos. Keep them coming!

Going from strength to strength Eddy. This is one of your best productions thus far. Did you attend the Uni yourself?

Very nice Eddie. Interesting history and background. Thanks. 😎

Fantastic production Eddy, you have certainly done your alma mater proud. A very interesting, historical account of a magnificent establishment, you must be so proud to have graduated from the University. As mentioned earlier, this is certainly one of your best productions. Take care and all the best, regards Rob.

Fantastic nuggets of historic info, thank you Ed

Another great video Ed thanks

Enjoyed immensely. Thanks Ed.

Wonderful video, love your style.

Wine was the new gilmorehill building constructed and how long did it take?

Excellent stuff, Ed. I studied at the University from 1980 to 1987, and was subsequently employed as a post-doc until 1990. I loved the place 👍🏻 I'm intrigued by, and love, the music - by yourself, it says...... Is it available?

Hey Ed, do you think you could do a wee video about Strathclyde, the less glamorous sister? All RU-vid seems to have is stuff from Strathclyde itself or nonsense from current students.

Amazing uni. Are there overseas branches??
