Notes

1. The ‘Jeeley Piece song’, based on a poem by Adam McNaughton, 1967 recalls the common practice of mothers handing their children a slice of bread and jam (a jeely piece) out of the windows of their tenement flats and how this was disrupted by the move to high-rise accommodation following the slum clearances of the 1950s and 1960s. Its chorus became a key refrain throughout the workshops and events of the Future memory at Red Road project. http://www.roblightbody.com/scotland/scotlandjeely.htm
