Recreation facilities are few in Gorbals. Pubs are plentiful. there are 174 of them (above Frank Judge’s Bar) Some are good, some bad, all popular. but the idea that gorbals is peopled by roughnecked boozers is erroneous. The area is remarkble for kind, friendly folk, with a strong feeling for social justice.

Mary is sixteen. She works in a Bakery. She has the the fancies and foibles natural to a girl her age. She dreams of nice clothes, hamdsome suitors, happy times. But already her life is coloured by her surroundings. Already futility and frustration stretch ahead. Already her dreams are losing their battle against reality.
