Travel Tuesday: Glasgow

Either he signed million-pound football contract, or this is sugar daddy's money. 

Something Nautical 

Must be a successful football club

An arcade lined with diamond dealers.

An Amazing train station 

Sandstone and Limestone dominate the city 

The Commemoration of the 80th Anniversary of Victory in World War II was concluding as we arrived at the Cathedral 


One of the many city run museums 




Everywhere you look there are details in the stone work.

  1. Those buildings look fairly clean. I guess they are not all covered in grime. Apparently London's buildings were very grimy when cars spat out very bad fumes and heating was by burning coal. They were gradually cleaned up.

    1. Coal fired heating had to be messy.

  2. Great stonework. That would be a fun walking tour on its own.

    Love the architecture of that museum! And those cars are not what I'd expect to see in Glasgow.

    1. I saw the green one a couple of times around the city. They are fun to look at, but I wouldn't want to own one.

  6. How cool to be in Scotland on VE Day. Old buildings with their sculptures are works of art.

    1. We came up the hill to the Catholic Cathedral, just as the Piper and Dignitaries were leaving the church from a special remembrance service. They gathered for a photo out front. Then locked up the Cathedral and left.

    1. I really like Glasgow, lots of old and new, and a very genuine city. It does not try to be anything it is not.
