An incredible collection of aerial images shows some of Scotland's best-known landmarks from the sky. Snaps in the National Collection of Aerial Photography lets us see how our country has changed over the decades. One of the images shows Hampden Park - our national stadium, which Steve Clarke's men have turned into a fortress in recent years - as it looked nearly a century ago. The bird's-eye-view snap was taken in 1927 and highlights the stark differences the stadium and surrounding area have undergone since. In the historic image, there is just one grandstand, with bowl-shaped terraces circling the pitch. Lesser Hampden is still in place to the west of the ground and another, smaller pitch can be seen on what is now the car park. The surrounding fields have mostly long since been replaced by housing, though an aerial snap from after the stadium was refurbished in 1999 still shows a lot of greenery in the Mount Florida area
