The Empire Exhibition 1938. The Tower

A Memory of Glasgow.

This was our last pre-war family holiday - a week in Glasgow with Dad's brother [Somerville Drive, Mount Florida] and three wonderful weeks in Tighnabruaich, Kyles of Bute, with mum's parents. I have clearer memories, as a near 10 year old, of the latter than of the visit to the Exhibition but remember sitting in the upper front 'cabin' of the 'car on the way there and the striking Mounties inside the Park. A vague recollection of the 'Clachan' but a much better memory of the iconic Tower where we queued and marvelled at the speed of the lift. Didn't make much of the view but the exciting bit was the hope that the slender Tower would sway! No such luck on this occasion.
