Glasgow
 

 
  Glasgow is much safer these days than it had been, but it's still an edgier town than Edinburgh. It's less picturesque, more urban.

There are, however, many beautiful buildings from different eras. We didn't get to see the newer architecture nor the important waterfront.		 Photo of Glasgow building Photo of Glasgow building

Built in 1471, this is the oldest house in Glasgow. Only four medieval buildings have survived, including the even older Cathedral.

   Old meets new. This is one of the oldest theaters in Scotland, but has modern presentation capabilities.   I could swear that those roses on the facade meant this is a Mackintosh building, but I can't find it online so I suppose I'm wrong.
    Flowers and trash in empty lot   Mysterious rusted box   Wall with old signs including a Stan Laurel recognition sign obscured by vandals    
       
    Even this empty lot in the middle of town was full of flowers.   Wabi sabi kept cropping up.
Beautiful moments.		   How fun to find this Stan Laurel commemoration, but you can't read it through the vandalism.
    
   

Glasgow is full of contradictions. Lovely parts and edgy things. I really liked Glasgow.
