The Knopfler clan stayed in this street in Glasgow.

It was Wheatfield Rd; I think it was no35 and I'm pretty sure he was born in the Western Infirmary on Great Western Rd.

Coincidently, I passed through (or more precisely underneath) there last night to go to the football.  We were playing Newcastle United in a friendly!
