Crowds have gathered to watch the Glasgow skyline change forever with the demolition of 26-storey blocks of flats.

Three of the four Wyndford Road high rises in Glasgow were brought down using explosives on Sunday.

The three structures at 151, 171 and 191 Wyndford Road are owned by Wheatley Homes Glasgow, which decided to demolish them to make way for more than 300 new homes.

A fourth structure at 120 Wyndford Road has been manually dismantled by experts since November.

The Wyndford estate was built in the 1960s in the Maryhill area of Glasgow, on the site of a former barracks.

An exclusion zone was in force since 8am this morning. Displaced residents will be offered breakfast and lunch at an evacuation centre.
