48pp. Apparently self-published. Not dated but contents and format suggest a publication date around 1980. Laminated card covers. Illustrated. A lamination against Rutherglen's (Ruglen) loss of status and its amalgamation into Glasgow in the 1975 administrative changes. Presents snippets of the history of Rutherglen, often in a literary context, together with original songs and lyrics recording its place in the history of Scotland and its loss of status as a town in its own right. An unusual insight into local history and identity. Very hard to find volume with unique content. 4to 0
