I'm not FireWire but, also, my dad was born and raised in Glasgow and lives there again now. He's voted Labour for the last 42 years unshakably, but is now firmly SNP. I also remember that he was still firmly Labour / anti-independence at my sister's 30th birthday (as we had a mini debate about it) which was three years ago - but was MASSIELY pro independence by the time the referendum was held.
Possibly also interesting to note that he also worked within the NHS for nearly 40 years and during his last 10 years of work was heavily involved with RCN work and still is involved there semi-regularly even though he has been retired for a few years now. His opinion is essentially that the Scottish NHS's only real hope is in being protected by the SNP, that it is still at some risk under Labour, and that the wider UK NHS under the Conservatives will be completely and utterly screwed.
