Walking the City

We had plenty of time over our first two days in Glasgow to stroll the city streets on our own. Some of the interesting sites along the way were a number of these old Police "booths." None had actual police in them but some had little businesses in operation.

  
In the last few years artists have completed murals here and there with very realistic features.
  
The Mural of the man and bird is to represent a modern Saint Mungo who was attributed four miracles. There is a poem used to assist in the remembering of them. The four are commemorated in the Glasgow coat of arms.

Here is the bird that never flew
Here is the tree that never grew
Here is the bell that never rang
Here is the fish that never swam

One type of food in which there is no short supply is Fish and Chips. Of course we ate at the one claiming to be the best one in Scotland. I could not disagree with that. We ate there twice. Of course, we will have to visit many more fish and chips to either prove or disprove that claim.
