It's always nice to see a book you've written in the window of a bookshop! In this case, it's my recent one, Glasgow Uncovered, in the window of Bigglestones on Glassford Street in the Merchant city area of the city.

To be honest, it barely even makes it into the top ten buildings in the city based on Classical Greek Temples!

An 1840s municipal building on Wilson Street in Glasgow built with a hexastyle portico inspired by ancient Greek temples. In other cities, this would probably be a must-see building for visitors, but in Glasgow it struggles to make it into the top 50.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me put this together, and to all my followers for the encouragement to sit down and write it in the first place.

At the moment, it looks like it will primarily be available online and to order from most big bookshops. I'm trying to find some local stockists for it for those who prefer to support independent businesses, but that might take a little while to sort out.

So, that is my upcoming book of walks around Glasgow finished and sent off to the printers. If nothing else turns up, it should finally go on sale on the 1st of May 2025.

Aren't these the cutest little calves? A walk through Pollok Park never fails to improve my mood. #visitglasgow #pollokpark #Scotland #highlandcows
Yay!
We’re looking forward to seeing these plays. It’ll be like a mini festival, seeing them all in the one day!
Each one sounds fun on its own, so three will be a triple jump of joy…

I’m not sure if I’m “existentially weary” but I do like a romantic comedy!
