A generation ago, no high street or shopping precinct was complete without its own video shop offering short-term hires of the latest blockbusters and classic movies for an affordable price.
Video stores started appearing in the early 1980s around the time that VHS won the home video format battle over Betamax, and they soon multiplied in number.
Glasgow was not short of VHS rental stores. For a start, the city was home to Azad Video, which in the 80s and 90s would go on to become Scotland's biggest video rental chain.
