Thanks to John Saunders for correcting the game scores in a couple of the games from this event. I have uploaded a corrected version as above.

And even more games added today:
Glasgow International 1973
There were 379 competitors, a record for the Congress, in the somewhat cramped conditions of Langside Hall during the weekend September 22-24.
Generous financial support from Glasgow Corporation, chess organisations and individuals allowed for a new element this year, a Glasgow International Tournament, which featured Grandmaster Robert Hübner of West Germany and International Master Hans Ree of the Netherlands, as well as visiting players from England, Wales and Ireland.
4th Glasgow Junior International 1973
Running alongside was the 4th Junior International - won by Scotland's Stephen Swanson - added further interest to the weekend.
