  1. Molly Pin Li McLaren,
    come home and look
    at the pictures in your brand-new book—
    a tree, a bird, a fish, a bell,
    a bell, a fish, a tree, a bird.
    Point, wee Molly, and say the word!

    —Liz Lochhead “Glasgow Nonsense Rhyme”
    published in FUGITIVE COLOURS (Polygon, 2016)

  2. Today, 13 January, is the Feast Day of St Mungo (AKA St Kentigern), patron saint of Glasgow. Edwin Morgan’s “Colloquy in Glaschu” imagines a conversation between St Mungo & St Columba.

  3. St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, built in 1993 close to Glasgow Cathedral and on the site of the long-lost Glasgow Castle. Its castle-like exterior is an attractive reminder of the earlier occupant of the site. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/gla

  4. Clondon Week 2 - Recreation of an old photo

    Today is the feast day of St Mungo so I figured I would take another photo of his mural by SmugOne.

    Surprisingly difficult to photography, north facing and unlit with akwardly placed streetlights. But got a nice sunset and quite happy with how it turned out.

  5. St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art, built in 1993 close to Glasgow Cathedral and on the site of the long-lost Glasgow Castle. Yet to reopen, its castle-like exterior is an attractive reminder of the earlier occupant of the site. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/gla
