Barriers are built to withstand hurricane force winds and debris thrown by a raging storm

2: Glaswegian B&B – high
During November 1990 I was in Glasgow for the European Film Festival. Accommodation was hard to find and I ended up staying in an old townhouse bed & breakfast place down near the River Clyde. My room had that rather cheesy secondary double glazing where plastic panels are fixed on the inside of the original window frames. That night a strong westerly wind blew up and whistled through the gaps around the edge of the window panels. At 0234h that night I realised there was no alternative but to record this remarkable event and I fixed a Tram TR50 capsule into the gap and recorded this sound on my Nagra SNN.
