Glasgow Cathedral erected between AD 1136 and 1484, Glasgow Cathedral is now Scotland’s largest place of worship. Its history reflects contrasting Christian identities. The site was an ancient pilgrimage destination containing the tomb of the 6th-century Celtic missionary to Strathclyde, St Kentigern (or Mungo). This gave access to the special grace of a saint close to God and whose remains emitted the breath of the Holy Spirit, making the place ‘holy.’

I was really getting into taking crowd photos last weekend in Glasow, maybe because it was a whole festival devoted to bands I loved too so I was pretty in sync with the surrounding mood (at other festivals, it might end up being more hit or miss depending on who is playing). I don't often use the expression "positive vibes only" but I was kind of feeling that way even despite the rain that came through both days (photographing bands in the rain even with a rain sleeve on my base and lens always makes me so nervous!)

Glasgow's Riverside Museum houses the historic "Cunarder" tram 1392, built in 1952 as the last double-deck tram constructed in Britain. As part of the city's extensive heritage fleet, this post-war streamliner operated for only 10 years before the system's closure in 1962, and it is now displayed in its post-1958 condition.
Key Details About Tram 1392:
Significance: It is recognized as the final double-deck tram to be built in Britain.
Design: It is a "Cunarder" class, which was a post-war development of the earlier 1930s "Coronation" design.
Service Life: Although built in 1952, it only served for 10 years due to the closure of Glasgow's tram system on September 4, 1962.
For the second day in a row I found the time and (a very different) place just around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Since its unveiling in 1924 people from throughout the city and beyond have congregated at this monument to pay tribute to the fallen. Following four years of war on the 11 November 1918 the armistice was announced spreading celebration and relief throughout the victorious nations - "It was the greatest day of rejoicing Glasgow has ever known".
