The man who captured a fading industrial Scotland please log in to view this image The Clydesdale Tube Works in Bellshill pictured in 1975 For John Hume, it started with a boyhood fascination of watching newly-built battleships voyage down the Clyde which led to a collection of more than 25,000 photographs of Scotland's fading industrial heritage. His aim was simple - to create an exhaustive record of the factories, shipyards, mills and steelworks which were all facing the wrecking ball. The 83-year-old would later turn his passion professional, playing key roles in preservation bodies. But Mr Hume told BBC Scotland his attitude to preserving the country's industrial heritage is the same now as it was in the 1960s. "It comes back to affection," he said. "If we could preserve the people that we knew when we loved them - mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, friends - we would love to do that. "We would have a library of people that we would go and see. Well that's the same with buildings, and machines, and books and you name it. "You know that if you can express that feeling for something by preserving it, then people can come to see it in the future and see what you loved, and see what they can love in it." please log in to view this image Crowds gather at Bowling near Glasgow in 1968 to watch the Queen Elizabeth II (QE2) sail down the Clyde for her trials please log in to view this image The Lord Farringdon steam engine at the Balornock Motive Power Depot in Glasgow in 1966.
