Glasgow by the way, but

Glasgow is a city full of different voices, intriguing because of their inherent contradictions. In this series of personal recollections, John Cairney takes you on a tour of his Glasgow, introducing the people and places that have shaped it. This book is full of the humour and tension that characterises Scotland's second city, and includes reflections on subjects as diverse as football, religion, shipbuilding and the distinctive Glaswegian dialect. Whether a native or a newcomer, everyone will find a part of their own Glasgow reflected in Cairney's honest evocation of his home city.
