The last country I visited was Scotland, and the city I stayed in before flying home was Glasgow.
The weather was just as you'd expect - cold, windy, damp and/or raining for the 5 days I was there.
It was mid-July. I did enjoy my time there - especially the people-watching!
Everyone has seen this picture - the Duke of Wellington with his orange road cone,
outside the Gallery of Modern Art:
I loved the Princes Square shopping centre, so different from the usual plastic malls:
On a dull day, these planters provided lovely colour:
Lastly, a reminder of the Commonwealth Games held in the city last year:
"The Glasgow invention of square-toed shoes was to enable
the
Glasgow man to get closer to the bar."

Love that wall art. It lifts a tired building doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYay for potted colour. There should be more of it.
Even though I used to live in Scotland, I never made it to Glasgow. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quote!
ReplyDelete;-)
The Jack House quote is fantastic. Also, I'd never seen the statue wearing a traffic cone before, but love its style. I could do with it catching on.
ReplyDeleteLisa: If you're going to miss a Scottish city, make it Glasgow.
ReplyDeleteEC: I agree. They were very bright spots in a fairly bleak landscape.
thunder: I thought so :)
John: The city bureaucrats kept removing it, but another one would appear, so they gave up. It's become a tourist attraction in its own right.
