GOLDEN DAYS in Airdrie

Photographs by Sam McCabe of Coatbridge

This collection of photographs date back to 1971 when Airdrie celebrated its 150th anniversary of becoming a burgh.

The whole town got in on the fun with hundreds of people dressing up for the occasion.

A series of events were held to mark the Act of Parliament in 1821 which declared Airdrle a Burgh. .

In 1971 Airdrie celebrated the 150th anniversary of the Burgh

	Our first picture shows 'soldiers' in period costume marching along Clark Street past the old community centre
while a Scots Guard is also pictured in his bearskin hat.
	The old Lanarkshire Fire Brigade is pictured with one of its appliances in Graham Street outside Grants
Two of the younger Airdrieonians are pictured in their mini-skirts drawing an astonished glance from an elderly passer-by.
