Eerie Images have resurfaced online showing a notorious Scots housing scheme in the 1980s, known locally as 'The Ramps'.
Irvine Welsh famously referred to the buildings as 'the varicose vein flats' in his Trainspotting novel as the cracks in the building harling were filled with white plaster. He wrote: “This is one ay the varicose-vein flats, so called because of the plastered cracks all over its facing.” “Everyone was so friendly, we had a ground floor maisonette with a yard out the front where the babies would sleep in their prams. My daughter was born here and after they had been demolished, she worked for the builders of the new estate in the site office.
But it was not all roses. As many described the flats as looking like living in a prison complex or more dramatically as “hell.”
