Hi Sen, hope you are well 'way doon Sooth-East? I grew up just outside Glashow boundary, but was a student in Embry, so experienced both cities! - when I was a young teenager, if a trip to Embry was planned, consideration had to be given as to whether to wear gloves!!! One certainly dressed smartly for a visit to the capital city.... guess that was just before teenagers and denims were invented? An outstanding feature of being a visitir to Glasgow is that if you are heard asking directions, someone will go out of their way to show you or even take you to your destination!! (Mind you I have ecxperienced the same helpfulness in Liverpool, so maybe it is West coast ocean terminal type places that do this?) I think i read that one of the world guide books (Lonely Planet?)advises travellers not to openly consult a map on the streets of Glasgow, as citizens willl descend on them, take them to their destination - and suggest other sites to be visited!!! (It is true - I do it myself!!!) Cathedral....workingtonman I forgot about RC cathedral, don't know much about it/where it may have been? Currently on Clyde St (?) Overlooking the river - was in it once when my friend and I came across a distressed old lady, she was confused and looking for the church, so we took her there, handed her over to a priest to help her. Border Collies - Backwoodsman, after your post someone else (Donuel? - i can't face scrolling all the way back on my phone!!) mentioned Border Collies (well i think they did) my Border Collie is stunning, clever - amazing wee dug! As was her predecessor.
