It seems you see a grungy chemical plant in the background   . However it is the Tennant brewery where our favourite lager from this trip is brewed.


The following morning was grey and overcast, we started walking along the river Clyde towards the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) and the Science park

After this we went for coffee and while we were having that it started pouring rain, so we took a taxi back to town and started our drive towards Newcastle to catch the ferry back

#D76 and another wall painting

Good job on Glasgow so far Domien, especially the cathedral shots

A few different views in the cathedrals from me

p88: A pietá in the St. Andrew's Cathedral



p89: side chapel with a painting by Peter Howsom of John Ogilvie (a Roman Catholic martyr) being hanged. According to the lady who spoke to us when we entered the church it's one of the main attractions why people visit this Cathedral.



p90: side chapel of St Mary



On to the main Cathedral of Glasgow (Church of Scotland)

p91: Main aisle



p92: "The Book"



p93: Chapel and tomb of St Mungo, patron saint of Glasgow, in the cellar under the cathedral



p94: And suddenly Domien vanished

Very friendly people in Glasgow, that gave lots of information.
And gorgeous weather.
That made it a very pleasant and long walk, with a visit of two churches
But let's start with the streets and the weather.

#D62 Portland street suspension bridge


#D63 Central Station view


#D64 Reflection AND shadow. It will never get any better


#D65 High street

We assumed the bridge to part of the metro, but we never saw a train

#D66 Many stores To Let and many popup stores


#D67 Don't despair. Policemen inside


#D68 And beatifull wall paintings


More to come from the nice walk
