Scotland’s second city deserves a book devoted to its colourful past and Alan Taylor demonstrates that there is much more to the ‘no mean city’ than meets the eye in Glasgow – The Autobiography.
He strides across centuries and delves into numerous sources for these incisive anecdotes from natives such as Liz Lochead and Tartan Noir crime writer William McIlvanney as well as famous visitors Daniel Defoe and Dick Bogarde.
Revelations galore for locals and non-Weegies alike.
Glasgow – The Autobiography, edited by Alan Taylor, published by Birlinn, £17.99.
