Colin MacFarlane was born in Gorbals in the 1950s, 20 years after the publication of "No Mean City", the novel about pre-war life in what was once Glasgow's deprived district. The author witnessed the last days of old Gorbals as street boy as a regeneration programme was implemented. He reveals what it was really like to live in old Gorbals.
