Glasgow's rail and subway system is more comprehensive than it's often given credit for, as illustrated in this map created by @tubemapdesign on Instagram. The map showcases the extent of the network operated by ScotRail in addition to the @glasgowsubway.bsky.social system.

Delighted to learn about the positive news surrounding Peter Womersley-designed Bernat Klein Studio. While celebrating this achievement, we should also remind ourselves about another Category A listed building, St Peter's Seminary in #Cardross. What's the latest update?

Neil C Duff's Free Renaissance style commercial building of 1901 looks even more impressive when set against its modern neighbours. Built for George Miller, and first occupied by the Carsewell Fishing Gut Company, it was converted to housing in 2003.

As part of #Glasgow850, Chris Leslie joins us for his talk this month titled Wounded Landscapes. In his lecture photographer Chris draws haunting visual parallels between the war-ravaged cityscapes of Sarajevo in the mid-1990s and the neglected high-rise estates of Glasgow in the early 21st century.
