A character from Bud Neill comic strips. G.I Bride is shown here as she would've appeared in the comic. That is, forever trying to thumb a lift home back to Scotland with her wean. Like the Lobey Dosser comic, G.I Bride is not something you'll likely know about unless you happen to be Glaswegian or a Bud Neill fan or extraordinaryly worldly comic fan. If you're in the city and especially if using Partick Station, it's worth a small detour to see a funny little statue.

The Clyde Clock is situated outside Buchanan Bus Station. it is a cubed clock positioned on two running legs giving a whole new meaning to the phrase 'time just ran away from me'. The clock was created by artist George Wyllie and is a fun sculpture at Port Dundas Place.

Easy to locate in Cowcaddens minutes away from the Museum of Piping. This building is 'A' Listed and for good reason. When I turned the corner I thought I was in London at the Barbican. Architecture fans will really appreciate this ,even if only from outside. As part of Open Doors festival, the public were allowed in . It's a full on First Aid Training Centre normally so if you're completing a course in here, you've got great architecture, great facilities and great staff as I soon found out. The tour of the building was so interesting especially the famous Lubetkin staircase and Cross of St Andrew . The boardroom on the first floor had pine cladding with personality. The building is full of light and the windows are a pretty interesting, considering their age. On the second floor we saw the training pods and latest equipment, even a large hoist in the corner for heavy duty lifting (vehicles not people). The facilities are second to none and our young volunteers (supervised by expert leaders of course) took us through CPR techniques brilliantly. Great visit. Learned a whole lot more about architecture. Learned a whole lot more about CPR . Learned a whole lot more about this wonderful organisation. A breath of fresh air !
