I have realised since joining this forum how LITTLE I know about Glasgow and the surrounding area; I am doing my best to rectify that (and also get the Glasgow section of our site updated!)

Aye I do... using my notes from The Heart of Glasgow by Jack House and a couple of ebooks (The Origin and History of Glasgow Streets by Hugh Macintosh and Glimpses of Old Glasgow by Andrew Aird)!
And now I've just discovered this topic: Free Books to Download!

Ta James. I try really hard to have a simple life but somehow I make it really bloody difficult and end up getting myself tied in knots.
Is it just me or is it us all?

EDIT- As for Dugald, great man, great wee stories. It's easy to finnd old map/book/records about glasgow. What is missing is the personal wee stories and tales.

Hi Peekay

StevenJ

have been a reader (very little contributor) to Hidden Glasgow over the last couple of years, literally just stumbled across UG and i like!
This is more my cup of tea, but both very complementary sites, and I notice a lot of the same names - hence I have kept the same username too.
Q. Does anyone on here organise group visits to some of the locations discussed?

Yes, we try and organise days out, so keep your eyes peeled, or better still suggest something/somewhere.

Glad you like this site and hopefully see you on one of the visits.

I hope so too
I'm trying to follow James73s' advice and think of somewhere for a visit, the thing is, most places have been visited to death by persons on here!
|
Alex Glass
|
I am sure there will be somewhere
Hopefully 2009 will provide lots of exciting opportunities

Welcome to the forums StevenJ
why not make up a Jim'll Fix style wish list no matter how speculative and post it here. Although we can't promise anything... but you just never know!

James, Alan and Alex... Thank you very much for your kind welcome gents. Falseface.. Thank you too and especially for appreciating my moustache. I have been told that it makes me look like a 1970s film star in a Classic Grand (Jamaica Street I think) kind of way. Like me though it's now a bit of a relic.
