The BBC clip below gives a brief descrition of the situation in Glasgow during the 1926 general strike. Thought it interesting that in 1919 (according to Tom Devine in The Scottish Nation) Scottish troops were used to quell the protesters with only Glaswegians confined to barracks. However accroding the clip below in 1926 English troops were deployed to Glasgow and Scottish Regiments were confined to barracks!
