Gill from Glasgow

About me Born and brought up in Helensburgh on the Clyde Coast, I've lived in Glasgow for 18 years. Worked for Radio 4 in London for 7 years then moved back to Scotland to work in radio and online for BBC Scotland. Escaped after twenty years to freelance as a media producer and write a novel (which I'm still writing). Why Glasgow? Because: You'd be hard-pushe...

Inn Deep Glasgow

Good beer, good grub, good tunes

""Inn Deep" is my new favourite Glasgow on yon bonnie banks for the River Kelvin. There's great selection of craft beer at this pub, good cocktails too."

My new favourite local on yon bonnie banks of the River Kelvin. Folk rave about the craft beer here at Inn Deep - and there's a great selection - take that special someone along for a pint of Arrogant Bastard. They do great cocktails too. I have happy memories of a summer's afternoon spent drinking delicious mango mojitos.

Their steak pie is the best I've ever tasted (apart from my mum's) and it comes with chips and sweet potato chips. I've heard good reports about their burgers and, on a recent visit, my 'this had better be good' daughter enjoyed her huge plate of spare ribs. In fact, there were so many she couldn't eat them all and when the woman next to us asked us if she could have the leftovers for her dog, my daughter was happy to oblige. We were slightly disturbed to see the woman eating them herself as we left. If it's sunny, you can eat and drink on the tables outside overlooking the river.

The Clyde Clock

Landmark Sculpture at Bus Station

Welcoming all to Glasgow, the Clyde Clock’s quirky, rushed figure mirrors the city's fast pace. Ironically, even its installation was late!

Ca' D'Oro

19th-century building

The "Ca' D'oro" is a really cool piece of 19th-century architecture. It was designed by the Glaswegian architect John Honeyman. Notice the reflections...
