My friend, who was my Best Woman at my marriage, lived just up the way, and across Maryhill Road in Leyden Gdns. We spent a lot of time at hers, and the Great Western Road/Byres Road/University area was where we spent most of our time.

I remember my wife and I "walking arm-in-arm down sheltered Kelvin Way" singing Ricky Ross's great song as we did so.

Speaking of botanical things, I also have some fine memories of a fantastic Scots Ceilidh (which is much, much wilder than and English ceilidh!) at The Peoples' Palace on Glasgow Green - a glorious, huge greenhouse complete with palm-trees and a function-area. A considerable quantity of Heavy and The Scottish Wine was consumed that evening! :-) :-)
