For those of you who were asking where they could buy my new book, Glasgow Uncovered, in the city, I'm happy to say I now have my first local supplier. It's the wonderful Sunshine No. 1, who are housed in this rather beautiful red sandstone tenement on Cathcart Road in Mount Florida.

Why have a plain grey concrete bollard when you can have a splash of colour? This is on Cathcart Road in Mount Florida in Glasgow, and is shows how very simple and inexpensive actions can really help brighten up our streets.

A rather gorgeous French Renaissance style tenement building on the corner of Queen's Drive and Victoria Road on the Southside of Glasgow. Built in 1885, it was designed by W.M. Whyte.

"The bicycle is the most energy-efficient form of transport ever invented. It’s more efficient than a train, than an electric car – more efficient even than walking. It doesn’t feel like it, though, as I undock the heavy hire bike and pedal into the wind along the towpath of the Forth and Clyde Canal."

Somewhere it's day/somewhere it's night.
For several years this is the type of thing I posted on Instagram. Then I got sick of Instagram for many reasons, but I still make images like this one for fun.

This seems a fitting mural to post for a bank holiday weekend. Painted by Conzo Throb, it's under a flyover next to the M8 at St George's Cross in Glasgow.

Love this re-use of this old tram rosette on a tenement on Victoria Road in Glasgow. Originally these would have been used to support the mechanism from which the electricity lines hung that powered the city's trams before the network was shut down in the early 1960s.

A year ago, we caught a train from Edinburgh back to #Glasgow and then did a hop-on/hop-off bus tour. 2 May 2024.

This Romanesque style tower of the former Scostoun Flour Mill on Dunaskin Street in Glasgow. Also known as the Waulk Mill, it was one of five mills lining the River Kelvin in the Partick area of the city in the 1820s, and it was the last one to remain operational. It had a variety of owners over the years, but at the time it closed in 2013, it was run by Rank Hovis MacDougall.

I see a lot of #glasgow in my feed for some reason, which I enjoy.

... I lived there briefly and was abused in incomprehensible (to me) Scots by an old woman crossing the road, discovered it was not possible to drink alone, and ran a backpackers lodge off the books with a kiwi and Slovenian when the owner skipped the country on the run from the law!

Good times 🍻

I then moved to Edinburgh and became a law abiding outdoor gear seller after a stint keeping ghosts company at Carbisdale Castle...
