About

This is a blog all about travels, thoughts and stuff like that.

So far it has featured posts on subjects as disparate as sensory overloads and Proclaimers concerts, visits to Cambridge, Edinburgh, Ireland and many other places. I delve into psychogeography, mainly through my Streets of Glasgow project, though sometimes in Edinburgh. I sometimes write about football. I even talk autism from time to time. Occasionally I rant, other times I just blether. Mainly blethering.

The photograph that appears at the top of the page is a pebbly beach not far from St Abbs Head in Berwickshire. To find it involves going off the beaten track, always a worthy pursuit.

Photographs that appear here have been taken by myself, usually on a mobile phone though sometimes on a conventional digital camera. I am not fussed about reuse as long as I get a credit.

I am a person. I work in libraries. I grew up in East Lothian and now live in Glasgow. I like football and I read a lot. Anything I am interested in will probably appear here at some point. All views are of course entirely my own.

I now also have another blog, Easter Road West, which is where I muse and rant about all things Hibs.

I have a few other bits of words out there, which you are welcome to check out.
