           -   Meet the Nairn's   -

 

 Rupert           Father              Whilhelmina          Mother 

 

               

 

 

Featuring the Nairn family, as seen through the eyes of 11 year old Rupert Nairn.

 It tells the story off a family from the affluent West end of Glasgow in 1968 who lose all their money and end up living in a single end flat in Heron St,Bridgeton. 

Laugh as they visit the Barra's, the carnival in Glasgow Green, laugh even more, as they come to terms with living in one room with an outside toilet, mice in the house and duffle coats as duvets.

All this happens to the delight of  their  unsympathetic neighbours The Campbells .
