More random programmes, the oldest one so far, and some virtual trips to remote places. Hungary would make a good blog, but sadly any photos from our lone trip to the Hungarian/Romanian border in 2002 are long lost. So Scotland it is. Here’s one of my helpful maps. In that glorious summer of ’58… Continue reading GLASGOW SOUTHSIDE

JORDANHILL : THE COMEBACK
This is where it gets exciting, as ScotRail whizzes me to a third (3rd) Spoons in 90 minutes, which sounds like a Jason Statham movie to me. Just before tht I stopped at Rutherglen for, er, comfort reasons, and remembered what their Spoons was good for. Rutherglen hasn’t suddenly gone micropub/craft bar made since I… Continue reading JORDANHILL : THE COMEBACK
FROM THE RIDICULOUS TO THE SUBLIME….CAMBUSLANG
You know, there are people who have been to Glasgow and only been in the Laurieston Bar. Which is fair enough, I guess.

Only the… Continue reading FROM THE RIDICULOUS TO THE SUBLIME….CAMBUSLANG

And that’s how it should be. But I was always… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – THE LAURIESTON, GLASGOW
GLASGOW BURNS
Next up, a pint with Pubmeister and the effervescent Madame Luna at the Raven, which is the first pub that pops up when you type in “Glasgow” on WhatPub so it must be central. It’s certainly not far from Primark. But only after I’d dragged a fudge-caked Mrs RM through the gleaming Merchant City, and… Continue reading GLASGOW BURNS
IN GLASGAE. IN THE DOGHOUSE
The last leg of our Scottish trip took us past the home of Beer Guide completist and overall legend Pubmeister on the way to Scotland’s First City. There may be a vibrant craft beer scene in Scotland but it isn’t producing many new Beer Guide entries (and that Hippo place closed), just the Raven this… Continue reading IN GLASGAE. IN THE DOGHOUSE
