Synopsis
Grandpa Colin Mackellar is a true Glaswegian Patter Merchant. Cheekily recounting the stories of the streets he grew up in, he takes his grandson, Fergus, on a heart-warming walk through fantastical stories of growing up at the bottom of a hill, the famous people he has met, and the UFOs he encountered. But these stories seemed to have shifted in everyone’s memory, including his own. As we look back on Glasgow through the decades, this is a loving, joyous film about the importance of storytelling, embellishment, and family. Welcome to Colin’s Glasgow.
