Until recently, I'd never given a second thought to the origins of the name Bath Street in central Glasgow. I think I'd always just assumed it was named after the city in England, but, this plaque on its corner with Renfield Street reveals its true origins. Cont./ #glasgow #glasgowhistory #plaque

Good morning, Glasgow. We've now entered one of my favourite parts of autumn. This is when sunrise coincides with my early morning dog walks, so for the next month or so, my days will often start, as it did this morning, by looking like this. #glasgow #sunrise #dogwalk #autumn #church
