Glasgow and Edinburgh photos

[editor]

Here's where locals and visitors can post up their pics of two of Scotland's finest cities!

And to get ye' started:

Edinburgh​

• Glasgow and Edinburgh photos: architecture, steps, skylines, street art and the penis steps
• Edinburgh in fifty photos: street scenes, architecture, landscapes and the famous castle
• Wet streets, a big Moon and an illuminated station roof: Edinburgh night photos
• Places I love: the cheap, cheerful and friendly Snax Cafe, Edinburgh
• A cracking Monday night in Edinburgh at the Black Bull, Oz Bar, Royal Oak and the Jazz Bar
• The not-so-brilliant burning hat flipping busker of Edinburgh – in photos

Glasgow​

• Glasgow photos: rainswept roads, street scenes, urban art and winter sun, Feb 2020
• In photos: Glasgow street scenes, pubs, station and architecture

Those are all mine from the last year. Edinburgh is terribly photogenic

Beautiful. Scotland really has it all, doesn't it?

I think it was Andy Hamilton who said it would be paradise, if it weren't for the midges. And the Scots. There may have been an element of trolling there.

Visiting both for four days each from next Thursday. Left it a bit late to look at things to do though usually I am more of a walk and see what happens person.

Any particular areas you recommend? Maybe I'll do an Edinburgh Museum on the Saturday. I have a friend in both cities but will have a fair amount of time to myself. Probably catch a club night or two - there's a small techno night when I get there so that might be first.

Is that this Thursday or yesterday?

Depends where you are in Glasgow, but there’ll be a park near you wherever you are. If you’re on the Southside, I like the Snuffmill Bridge and Linn Park. If you’re North, near me, take in the view from the Ruchill Park flagpole or walk along the canal to Spiers Wharf and get a coffee at Ocho. East End has Alexandra Park, and the West End has Kelvingrove.

There’s loads of others, too: Rouken Glen (Southside), Pollok Park (Southside), Auchenlea (East End), Botanic Gardens (West End), to name but a few.

You should check out Mono and Monorail, though. Claim to fame: editor has played there Mono

Pink Peacock? about – די ראָזעווע פּאַווע

University Cafe on Byres Road is legendary:

Cheers mate will have a look! In Glasgow from Monday. Had a nightmare getting to Edinburgh yesterday took 13 hours on the train and no food from 2pm, but had a good day today. Going to meet a friend for some food and then going to some hardcore night later.

I’m up at the old hospital my eldest was born in (and was in an incubator for a time after). Not been here since she had to come back for checks as a toddler.

It closed as a maternity and sick children shortly after, and the part that remains in use is now ambulatory care. It’s in a sad state. The functioning hospital is surrounded by derelict buildings and decay.

But this is the view North (ish) from it.
