Welcome to my wee photoblog on Glasgow, where we feature the joys and unjoys of walking and cycling through a fascinating, beautiful and often badly run city. For the blog's origin and an alphabetical list of posts see the 'Introduction' post -

The date is 5 October 2010, and we are walking away from the high Court on the second day of the Tommy and Gail Sheridan trial - see |

 |
| Looking up to Glasgow Cross |

The Saltmarket runs from the Clyde to Glasgow Cross. It gets its name from the salt merchants who sold salt to the fisher fowk of the Bridgegate. See |

| Now the merchants sell antique DVDs |
 |
| Sun is all on the west side of the street - Glasgow is very much a city of light and dark |
 |

| The magnificent St Andrews in the Square - and paid for by slave labour in the West Indies. see http://glasgowalbum.blogspot.com/2010/03/churches-working-and-converted-other.html |

| Merry Christmas - it's 5 October |
