A wonderful aerial view of the city looking north west from August 1934. The most instantly recognisable feature is obviously St Enoch Railway Station, but there's much more to see. What jumps out at you?

It's physically unsafe for people like me to go into the centre of our home city this Saturday on account of the colour of our skin.

Most politicians are either failing to stand up to this or actively contributing to the situation.

We don't owe any of those politicians our votes. Not one of them.

Flags appeared in my tiny wee village in Ayrshire this week. Open anti-immigrant vitriol on the local FB group. Can’t help feeling that we’ve crossed a rubicon.

Boots corner aka dissy corner, at the junction of Union and Argyle Streets, 1961. Where many a fledgling romance faltered, it was originally the Adelphi Hotel. The hotel closed in the late 1950s and it was remodelled internally and overclad with brightly-coloured panels
