Glasgow is full of surprises!
This morning we set off to 23 Park Circus which is the address on my birth certificate for where I was born.

In 1944 it was registered as "The Park Circus Maternity Home" by Mrs. McCallum!

| Park Circus garden all, "locked and barred" |
The freaky thing about it was that it was only about 2 or 3 minutes walk from the Hostel up in Kelvinside - how did that happen!!
From there we headed off down town to Sauchiehall

street and then into Buchanan Street

| Buchannan Street - downhill |
to find the Information Centre and just to say that we had been there! On the way we found the statue of Scotland's first Prime Minister, Donald Dewar 1937 to 2000, and further down The Tardis - I couldn't see Dr Who though.

From the Information Centre we walked down to Argyll Street to find a Barclay's Bank and a bit further on into The Tron. They make a big effort with flowers in Glasgow

| The Tron Gate |
 |
| Big flower containers |
Down in The Tron we found T.J. Hughes, a big department store, to buy some replacement luggage.
Then we walked back to "The Heiland Man's Umbrella and down to the Clyde Walkway. It would have been lovely, but for the rain which trickled down.

There are some great bridges and buildings along here.
