Earliest memory of Glasgow? I remember eating a lollipop on my granda’s knee in our wee back garden in Mount Vernon. I must have been about three, or even younger. He lived with us for a while, after my gran died, and I was very close to him.

Describe your house: It was a five-apartment. We’d moved from a tenement in Haghill where we didn’t have an inside bathroom and there was no room to swing a cat. I had my own room as I was the only girl. It was a wee tiny box room but after sharing a bed with my brothers this lovely house felt like luxury, a dream come true.

Favourite local cinema? A trip into town to one of the big cinemas there was a real treat. My granda loved the movies and would take me on the bus for a day out.

Favourite shop? I loved the Barrachnie shops, there was a wee café and a sweet shop where you could stock up after school. Me and my friends used to walk home through the Barrachnie woods, although our mums were always telling us not to. I remember one day slipping and ripping my school jacket on a tree root and getting covered in mud. I was in big trouble.

Where did you go dancing? I was never much of a dancer, I preferred the pictures. That childhood interest sparked by my grandad never left me and I still love going. My favourite is the GFT now.

Best thing about growing up in Glasgow? Being close to family, having everything on the doorstep and a great, friendly city centre full of treasures just a bus ride away.

Happiest childhood memory: My grandad pushing me on the swings at the local park.
