Glasgow Film Theatre – Best cinema in town!
Glasgow Film Theatre is the city's original independent cinema. I like it for the quality films, its film festival and freebies on special days!

Big Slope – West End pub with quality food
"Big Slope" is a basement pub in Glasgow: cosy in winter and a beer garden in summer! The best thing about it is its cocktails and top-notch pub grub...

The Barras – They sell tickets to the moon
"The Barras" market has been a Glasgow institution since the 1920s. Some say it's seen better days, but I still like spending time there on a weekend.

Kelvingrove Park – A dear green place
"Kelvingrove Park" is one of the many parks created for the people of Glasgow as a refuge for the appalling living conditions of the Industrial Revolution.

Philadelphia – Best chippy in Glasgow
"Philadelphia" Glasgow is number one of my "best fish and chips in town" list, and this coming from a local who knows a thing or two of chippies!

Mother India – Quality curry
"Mother India" Glasgow makes gorgeous food. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough: I've been going there for over eight years; always a pleasure.

About me
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-pushed to find friendlier people than Glaswegians.
- It's got one of the best, if not the best music scene in the UK.
- It's hoaching with quality independent bars and restaurants
- You won't get lost on the underground
