We spent the next six days in Glasgow.
August 8-12, 2024 was the 82nd World Science Fiction Convention which was held at the Scottish Event Campus.
Trying out VR was really cool.
My panels were fun. “Look! I Have Raised a Geek!” and “Why Do We Still Love Paper and Tangible Things?”
We went on a walking tour of the bridges.
And saw some of the many murals in the city.
Neat buildings.
Some sculptures
Scottish people have a great sense of humor.
This is a display in the Kevingrom Art Gallery and Museum.
Also spotted this Pterosaur fossil. It looks a bit like the one I found at the Yesnaby coast. (see My Trip to Scotland: Part 5)
The Heads by Sophy Cave
Near the museum.
Langoustine for Lunch.
How often do you see pull chain bathrooms? I found two!
Glasgow Cathedral was founded in the 1200’s as a Catholic church, but became a Protestant Kirk in 1560. Before the Protestant Reformation, the interior was beautifully painted.
The Tardis!
This pretty building is the City Chambers in Glasgow.
George Square and it’s decorated sculptures.
A pint of beer and dinner at The Citizen after a long day. The food was excellent.
