The National Theatre of Scotland, through their Allotment project, teamed up with the Starter Packs charity to bring rag and bone men back to the streets of Govan.

Lorraine Johnson and Donna Adams donned their ‘best’ old suits to rein in Clydesdale horses Baron and Duke – on loan from Pollok Park – before they clip-clopped off, bringing the sights, sounds – and smell! – of days gone by back to the streets of Govan.

Setting off from Govan Cross, residents were urged to donate unwanted Christmas presents, household goods, bedding or clothing.

Scrap items or junk, including electrical goods, furniture, car parts or old bikes were also welcome.

The horse-drawn cart was accompanied by a van to collect larger items.

Collected items will be recycled by Starter Packs Glasgow, who help previously homeless people back into accommodation, and to help the Allotment arts team.
