More Good Beer and More Walking

Yesterday and today were more walking days - a repeat of Edinburgh, except this time it was from one end of Glasgow to the other through cathedral plus museum of famed Glasgow architect Charles Rennie MacKintosh. And through a horde of streets.

Tried more of the extraordinary Scottish / English ales. The Brits really know how to brew.

A few bed and breakfasts back I discovered a fascinating book by Bob Charney who found a photo album done by an unknown photographer who took gorgeous photos while touring the Highlands of Scotland in 1889. Charney found the album in an antique store. He follows the tracks and ultimately discovers who the photographer is and also the subjects. He finds the descendants! How different Scotland is today from what it was like when this Tinker Woman was peddling tin pans.
