Been a busy week incl several 14-hr shifts working on this wee gig. It's been amazing to get my teeth into something after being out of the picture for 5yrs. Great wee launch last night. It's on Mon-Fri, 12-5pm til 6 Feb. I'll be there on Thursdays 2-4pm if you want a guided tour

Map Overlay of the Second Hampden 1884 - 1903 and New Cathkin Park, showing the difference in position of the two pitches. Of most interest is the site of the Queen's Park Pavilion, where the south-west Third Lanark corner flag is. The site of Third Lanark's Stand is now bare grass.

How can Glasgow save its world-class architectural legacy?
YouTube video by STV News How can Glasgow save its world-class architectural legacy?

Curious to see how this might work and if the Council would use the funds as intended. Though, perhaps ending the council tax exemption on purpose-built luxury student accommodations is also in order.

City centre student flats on site earmarked for hotel recommended for approval It would include a residents’ lounge, games and karaoke rooms, cinema, yoga area, study lounge and terrace.

Still not a fan of this. We need a council and planning department who are capable of considering factors other than a one-time quick profit.
