Last week I visited the Peoples Palace in the east end of Glasgow, here are some pics
In nearby Argyll Street, this young piper was busking away


Nelsons Column on Glasgow Green, the weather was not too good but hopefully it will be better in August when the Worlds is held here on the Green


this entrance plaque on the ground commemorates the famous mouser that once patrolled the corridors of the palace


The magnificent terracota Doulton Fountain in the foreground of the palace commemorating all corners of the globe where Victoria had her empire



The welcoming slab on the ground at the front entrance to the palace


The plaque giving info about the Doulton Fountain



Outside view of the Palace



Billy Connolly's big banana boots that he first wore in an Aberdeen theatre in 1978, Connolly would probably cringe now at this stage of his career when he wore such footwear!

A portrait of the late great Jimmy Reid for his 75th birthday
the leader and spokesman of the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders successful work-in in 1971
The painting by Barry Atherton contains many items and people who were part of Reid's life from the ordinary working man whom he never left to meeting with Presidents like Gorbachev and Bush. Reid is revered in Scotland
