Andrew, Ali, Charis and I travelled from home in Inverness to Oban on Friday 2nd - stopping at Loch Lochy for a cuppa and some rolls - it was a beautiful run .... but I had no batteries for my camera to take photos! Two bi-planes flew down the length of the loch and tipped their wings at us when we…

Well, this way D-Day...departure day. It was all supposed to go so smoothly...but I slept in, the rest of the packing had to be done in a rush, Mum was irate because she had to go to M&S to pick up some essentials for me and halfway to the airport I realised I hadn't bought the assortment of S…

My first time in Glasgow.

Before I came to Glasgow, I didn't know lot about it! But now I'm bit fan of it!I have been traveling all over Scotland for two months before I came to Glasgow, and for sure I can tell you that it is largest city in Scotland. Similar to London, it has industrial soul, but in some way, that still ca…

You'll no doubt be able to guess Mark's reaction when he saw how much stuff I'd bought...although he liked all the christmas decorations, and I'd also brought him presents, so he was a happy boy! We spent the evening looking through my photos from the digital camera, which I fed throught the TV, a…

After a ropey night feeling ill, We wake up in the travelodge Glasgow which has had a refurbishment since I last stayed in it and  it was very lovely indeed - helped by the fact it was a 2 minute walk to the terminal! :) We ordered a pizza to be delivered the night before to the room from the …

Der Samstag steht selbstverständlich im Zeichen des Fussballs. Über die Celtic-Homepage haben wir bereits von zu Hause aus 2 Tickets gebucht, die für uns am Schalter beim Stadion hinterlegt werden würden. Mittags vor dem Spiel haben wir uns beim Pizza Hut was gegönnt und wie es der Zufall so w…

I pretty much carry my camera and a little tripod around with me where ever I go, and especially if I'm out and about for work - I never know where I'll end up or what I might see! The evening I took these shots, I was at Glasgow University's main campus in the city, covering the result of their r…

For whatever reason, I was really excited to see the necropolis in Glasgow. Call me morbid, but American cemeteries have nothing on Scottish ones in terms of age, historical significance, size, and general awesomeness. Death is sad, yes, but everyone dies eventually and I think the Scottish approac…

I was a little nervous going over the ocean for the first time but everything went fine except for being unable to sleep on the plane. Too much noise and some turbulence combined with my first long 8 hour flight and the excitement of being out of the USA was the cause of this. I was going with one …

For the lovers of architect like me, something that appeals to the eye and a must see,  is the splendour of Scotland's best known architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, whose style adorns many unique attractions throughout Scotland's largest and greatest city. Besides the beautiful building, the…

Set off from Glasgow today, emotional scene abounded at the airport! We were flying with BMI to Heathrow, then with the Greek national airline, Olympic, to Athens, to Bangkok, to Darwin to Sydney. It was the cheapest fare we could find, and we got it through Trailfinders, who'd also booked us four…

So here we are playing shows non-stop in Europe, and I can't get a good sound out of my drums to save my life. If you are a musician, you will know better than to go with crap equipment, like Tama... GRRRRRRR... Plus, I plug into the DI boxes and get blamed by a nut with a bizarre accent for having…

We started out our little trip flying to Glasgow from Gothenburg city. We arrived in the evening of the 6th of August, and our first impression was "wow...". Really, really old buildings (still covered in soot...), one way-streets everywhere and of course very friendly and helpful people. We soon l…

After my whisky tour, it is the girls' time to shop until they drop. I park the car in the garage at Cambridge street (I made it a habit to take a parking in stead of looking for a place and get fined) in the middle of the centre. We start with a sandwich at Paninis' (the girls knew that shop from…
