15 iconic photos of 1980s Scottish fashion that show how people dressed back in the day
The 1980s were a decade like no other, marked by big changes, bold trends and unforgettable fashion Anyone who lived through the 1980s will tell you, it was a decade like no other. A time of big changes, bold choices and even bolder fashion, the era left its mark on everything from music and politics to the way we dressed. While it had its fair share of heartbreak, such as the tragedy of the Lockerbie bombing, it was also a golden age for Scottish music, with stars like Wet Wet Wet and Annie Lennox rising to fame and capturing the hearts of a generation. The highs and lows of the era continue to echo through the memories of those who experienced it first-hand. But for younger generations, one of the first things that springs to mind when the 80s are mentioned is the fashion. And rightly so. Whether it was high-waisted jeans, ankle boots, neon legwarmers or wild printed blouses, the fashion of the time was anything but boring. And Scotland, of course, embraced it all. To celebrate the unforgettable looks of the decade, the Daily Record has delved into the archives to uncover some of the most iconic snapshots of Scottish fashion in the 1980s. From everyday street style to big nights out, the photos capture a time when style was expressive, experimental and, quite frankly, fantastic. Here are 15 classic photos that perfectly sum up Scottish fashion in the 80s and will transport you straight back in time.

Klang council targets ‘borrowed' licences used by foreign traders
MBDK wants its Wet Market Unit to monitor Pasar Besar Meru to catch foreigners using licences belonging to locals. — KK SHAM/The Star KLANG Royal City Council (MBDK) has embarked on an exercise to crack down on foreigners who 'borrow' trading licences from locals to run businesses. Mayor Datuk Abd Hamid Hussain said there would be immediate licence revocation, blacklisting of the local trader's name as well as seizure of goods for those caught in violation. 'Complaints that locals sublet their trading licences will not be tolerated,' he said. 'Starting June 1, MBDK aims to achieve zero foreign workers at council-owned kiosks and stalls at public markets, and this decision aligns with that goal.' 'The Wet Market Unit under the city council's Health Department has been told to strictly monitor Pasar Besar Meru, which has wholesale and retail sections. 'We will also monitor other markets under MBDK's purview, namely Pasar Baru Pekan Kapar, Pasar Besar Pelabuhan Klang and Pasar Pandamaran.' Pasar Besar Meru's retail section has 378 stalls, while its wholesale section has 117 stalls. Abd Hamid said only Malaysians were allowed to operate or work at council run-wet markets and food courts, including as assistants. 'All who work at these places must be registered with the council by June 1,' he said, while urging traders to comply with council regulations. 'Our aim is to prioritise job opportunities for locals, in addition to streamlining workers at such council-managed facilities and ensure they are vaccinated if their work involves food preparation.' – By EDWARD RAJENDRA
