Take A Minute

Have you watched our Take a Minute heritage videos?

This collection of short films takes you on a journey through time to visit some of the fascinating, and often long-forgotten places from our community’s past.

From the Singer’s Clock in Clydebank to the ancient Kilmaronock Parish Church, to the grounds of Dumbarton’s Municipal Buildings and along the Clyde to Bowling Basin, our videos provide glimpses of times when local people and places were making history - often leading the way.

We also explore the human history of our more recent past with memories of piping hot chicken soup in the Bruce Street Baths and the art deco dome above the Clydebank Co-op, and take a stroll through some of our stunning parks and outdoor spaces from Balloch and Dalmuir Parks to Carman Quarry and the island of Inchmurrin on Loch Lomond.

Thanks to funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund Scotland all these videos are free to watch on our Clydesider Creative Youtube channel.

When the project concludes at the end of April there will be 40 videos to enjoy and share.

We will be sharing the playlist with local community groups, libraries, schools and care homes.

And as part of Local & Community History month we are hosting community screenings of the films at Dumbarton Cine & Video Club on Monday May 13 from 1pm and at OKFP Napier Hall on Wednesday May 29, doors open at 6.30pm. All welcome.
