Glasgow - Back to my Home City

[M. A. C. Newsome]

Thanks, as always, for the photos, Alex. It is very telling seeing the window displays for Slanj and Heritage of Scotland for comparison.

The mannequins in the Slanj store front look very well put together (even the contemporary/casual display with the camo print kilt and "up yer kilt" tshirt), and they proudly display their "Made in Scotland" sign.

Whereas the mannequin outside Heritage of Scotland displays a crooked kilt with no sporran, worn with stereotypical white ghillie shirt, white hose (both of which look horrible on a white-toned mannequin form!) and ghillie brogues, and they proudly display their "99 pound kilt package" prices!

Even though I have worked in and around Glasgow all my life and not being a 'weegie', I love the city and know it and its people well. Glasgow may have its problems but its people are the friendliest in the world. I just love street pictures of Glasgow and of course it was European City of Culture in 1990, Glasgow certainly 'smiles better'
Thanks for the pictures, Alec
PS - at the museum of modern art, it may be hard to see but the Duke does seem to have his usual headgear on
