A TikTok showing how an abandoned Glasgow high-rise housing complex has changed over time has gone viral, being watched almost 400,000 times in less than 24 hours.
The video, uploaded by the account scotlandabandoned, shows a series of photographs of the Red Road Flats in Balornock.
The Red Road Flats were a mid-twentieth-century high-rise housing complex and were among the best-known housing developments in the city in the 1960s.

However, the buildings were formally condemned in 2015 following a long period of decline, and were demolished between 2010 and 2015.
The first photograph in the TikTok shows a "simple block of flats", but by 2012 the "building in the back" had been "demolished".
The 2015 photo shows demolition of the front building beginning, and by 2021 "the whole area is knocked down".
Since being posted on Thursday, the video has received over 30,000 likes and almost 300 comments from TikTok users sharing their thoughts.
One said: "I prefer 1960s blocks of flats over new weird housing estates".
"And we wonder why we have a housing crisis," argued a second.
"My dad used to live in the Red Road Flats," revealed a third.
A fourth meanwhile shared: "I don’t know why, but it’s kinda sad tbh".
A fifth commented: "The fact that it's still wasteland and not immediately building replacement neighbourhood is ridiculous."
