Clydeside
Used to be a port, and a place where ships were built - including the Queen Elizabeth and the QE2. The city has changed. It was European City of Culture in 1990, and hosted the Commonwealth Games in 2014. Now the Clyde Walkway takes you past amazing parks, museum, modern flats and office blocks, and many cultural venues. Above is the Armadillo, a performing arts venue, an a new glassy hotel. The first extra is looking at the other side of the river at the same point - BBC Scotland, the IMAX cinema and the Glasgow Science centre. Along the walkway are memorials to - for example - Glasgow fire-fighters, and Glaswegians who died fighting against fascism in the Spanish Civil War. The second extra is a statue of Dolores Ibarruri, the Spanish republican who famously said “Better to die on your feet than live forever on your knees” though she actually lived to be 93:)
The third extra just shows our lovely flat - getting the breakfast ready.
