As a child I remember our family sitting down to a steak pie dinner at 10pm. Then my dad would go out with the dog before the bells. And my mum and I would put out the short bread and madera cake on a special plate specifically for the new year. My dad would come in straight after the bells.

The ship yard would sound their horns at the stroke of midnight. I remember all the neighbours out their windows shouting happy new year to each other.

Our close was like a mini community in Glasgow. The lad who lived on the top floor would chap on all the doors to first foot the neighbours. He had to have dark hair to fo this.
