Walking in GLASGOW / Scotland (UK) - 4K 60fps (UHD)
Glasgow is the biggest city in Scotland. Famous for its Victorian architecture it is a national cultural hub with the Scottish National opera, ballet and an interesting music scene.
We start our walk at the River Clyde near the La Pasionaria sculpture in the southern city centre. From there we walk on Jamaica St towards the inner city and St Enoch Square. A quick detour through the shopping mall there and we continue northwards on the Buchanan St with many shops.
On our walk we also pass the Museums and the George Square with the Glasgow City Chambers. From the merchant city we head back to the centre and enjoy the street that become quieter now at the end of the day.
From the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall we head West and eventually go back South towards the Glasgow Central Station. We end our tour - now after sunset - right where we started - exactly 1 hour ago - at the River Clyde.

Spanish Civil War sculpture: La Pasionaria [Dolores Ibárruri], Glasgow.wmv
Spanish Civil War sculpture: 'La Pasionaria' [Dolores Ibárruri] - ceremony of re-dedication, Glasgow, Scotland, 23 August 2010
The statue of 'La Pasionaria' (real name Dolores Ibárruri) - with the inscription Better to die on your feet than live for ever on your knees - commemorates the British volunteers to the International Brigades who fought against Fascism in the Spanish Civil War, between 1936 and 1939. Over 2,000 volunteers went from the UK, and over 500 died in the conflict, 65 of whom came from Glasgow.
The statue was originally installed in the late 1970s, at its current home on the banks of the River Clyde, at Glasgow's Clyde Street beside the Jamaica Bridge. Now, with a £10,000 restoration after its fabric had begun to deteriorate, it was re-dedicated to the international volunteers who fought fascism in the Spanish Civil War.
Dolores Ibárruri, known as La Pasionaria, is portrayed by the statue with her arms outstretched. She was a leading politician, leader of the Spanish Communist Party, and a heroine and leader of the Spanish Republican movement. The sculpture was commissioned by the International Brigade Association of Scotland and produced by Liverpool-based sculptor Arthur Dooley.
The last surviving Scot who served in the war, Thomas Watters, 97, was among those attending the event in Clyde Street. Mr Watters served in the Scottish Ambulance Unit, which worked at the front line on the battlefields of Spain to aid wounded fighters and volunteers from across the world.

Glasgow / Nick & Friends in Scotland' 2012 : Part 1
Produced by Nick Lido. Featured by Nick Lido's Travel Journal at youtube.com/nicklido and Nick and his bodies Dmitri Purgalvis, Debra and Loretta took a train in Greenock, Scotland, to visit a magnificent Glasgow City.
HISTORY: Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, and one of the largest in the United Kingdom, and, as of the 2011 census, the Scottish city with the highest population density with 3,395 people per square kilometer. It is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands. Inhabitants of the city are referred to as Glaswegians.
Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become one of the largest seaports in the world. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh, and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, it became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century. From the 18th century the city also grew as one of Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies.

Scottish Independence Yes Campaign Glasgow Launch 2013 Cat Boyd RIC
The cross party campaign for a yes vote for independence in the 2014 referendum held its Glasgow launch on Wednesday 16th January 2013 in the same venue where the Radical Independence Conference RIC took place a couple of months earlier. Cat Boyd from RIC was one of the 5 speakers at the Yes Campaign Glasgow launch. She speaks about how things have affected her politically as she was growing up and speaks of the many political struggles and events she has witnessed in Glasgow. Refers to statue not that far away of la pasionara who fought fascism. As a child she was taken to see Nelson Mandela being given the freedom of the city. Tells of how as a teenager she joined in the anti-war campaigns. Says how while growing up she was told if you stick in at your studies and work hard you'll be able to do anything with your life but found that this was not true having been forced like other people who have worked hard at their studies to take a low paid job or no job in many people's cases. Cat wants an independent Scotland so that as a nation we can stand on the side of the oppressed and not on the side of the oppressor, on the side of peace not war. She says she is fed up of hearing her generation being labelled materialistic, obsessed with reality TV and even described as a lost generation and says it's just that they have not had a voice for so long. Statistics show that young people and low paid workers are more likely to be convinced of independence than any other group because we have everything to vote for, we have hope at last. There are now more call centre workers than there ever were shipyard workers. The prospect of independence and the powers it will bring low-paid workers and the opportunity to bring about the kind of society Cat talked about with young trade-unionists gives them hope and is why Cat will be voting Yes. She doesn't believe that austerity at home and war abroad is the best we can expect. The only way to bring about the kind of Scotland we want is independence from the United Kingdom. In 2014 we can make it a reality. From the days of Red Clydeside to communities that battled the Poll Tax and campaigned against illegal war, the heart of all these things was this city. Now Glasgow can be at the heart of a campaign for change, against alienation and for a yes vote. Lets go out and build the broadest campaign for independence.

Marxists attack Troops Home campaign in Glasgow
Marxist/Communist students attack BNP Glasgow's Bring Our Troops Home campaign. The British government funds university's and hate groups such as the UAF to attack political parties who oppose mass immigration.
These marxist hippies and students hide behind the banner of anti-racism but it only requires minimum research to discover their communist intentions.
La Pasionaria's speech to the International Brigades read by Yolanda Vazquez
On 28th October 1938 the International Brigades assembled in Barcelona where they were given an enormous and emotional farewell by the Republican government and the people of the city. Speaking from a balcony, Dolores Ibárruri, known as 'La Pasionaria', gave what has become an iconic, speech, immortalising the words You are history, You are legend; though many of her phrases still ring true for the situation today. At the IBMT Annual Commemoration for the Brigaders in Jubilee Gardens on London's South Bank the Anglo-Spanish actor Yolanda Vázquez gave this reading of the speech to an enthused crowd. Yolanda reads the first paragraph in Spanish before reading the whole speech in English. ¡No pasarán!
Yolanda’s version of the speech – in Spanish and English – was recorded at the IBMT’s annual commemoration on London’s Southbank on 7 July.
Yolanda Vázquez played La Pasionaria on stage in 1986 at the Sheffield Crucible Theatre’s production of ‘The Running of the Bulls’. Her screen credits include the film ‘Notting Hill’, about that part of London where she was brought up in the large Spanish immigrant community there, and she has acted with the Royal Shakespeare Company and performed, among many other places, at the National and Globe Theatres. Last year she was a narrator in a special programme on BBC Radio 3 reading extracts of writings from the Spanish Civil War.

Den 17. juli 1936 startede den spanske borgerkrig, da et militæroprør -- anført af general Francisco Franco -- brød ud i Spansk Marokko. Samme Franco blev snart efter den officielle leder af Falangen -- den spanske fascistbevægelse.
Oprørerne fik hurtigt fuld kontrol over den nordafrikanske besiddelse. De iværksatte øjeblikkelig en grusom terror og hævnaktion mod alle, som støttede den lovlige spanske republik. De, som blev taget til fange, blev øjeblikkelig henrettet.
Samtidig hermed opfordrede Franco garnisonerne i Spanien om at tilslutte sig det fascistiske oprør mod republikken, og de marokkanske tropper blev overført til det spanske hovedland i italienske og tyske fly.
Det fascistiske Italien -- såvel som det nazistiske Tyskland -- var fra første færd på oprørernes side. Det var alene deres tropper og militært materiel, som -- sammen med de vestlige stormagters såkaldte neutralitet eller ikke-indblandings-politk -- som i sidste ende sikrede fascisterne sejren.
Dagen efter kuppet opfordrede den samlede spanske venstrefløj og de faglige organisationer regeringen til at give arbejderne våben til oprettelse af arbejdermilitser. Det nægtede regeringen, og det blev dens endeligt Der blev dannet en ny folkefrontsregering -- denne gang med kommunistisk deltagelse. Nu blev der uddelt våben til arbejderne i Madrid, som allerede den 20. juli sikrede sig den fulde kontrol med Madrid.
Det samme skete i mange andre byer og distrikter. Hermed begyndte et nyt kapitel i den spanske republiks historie. Og det var i sidste øjeblik.
