    I thought buying a tenement meant security. This is my worst nightmare (opens the original)

    Scaffolding is the business to be in, it seems. Each week, residents evacuated from a crumbling Glasgow tenement must pay £5,000 a week for the gargantuan lattice of metal poles holding up their building. This is on top of the £1.5 million repair bill the flat owners say they are facing. They first raised the alarm in the spring of 2021 after noticing a crack snaking up the rusty red frontage of their Minard Road tenement. The residents contacted Hacking and Paterson, their factors, who sent s

    Why Glasgow needs places where you don't have to spend money just to exist (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A problem I encountered all summer was trying to stay on a budget while realistically not being able to spend all day in the park. For all the effort of corralling friends, packing the blanket and the cheap badminton set, and selecting picky bits from the M&S garage, after a few hours, someone needs a toilet. From where we usually sit, that means decamping to the Queen’s Park Café on Victoria Road. So, you waddle over there, wait in the queue snaking around unimpressed regulars, feel a moral obl

    Can Queen’s Park Glasshouse actually be saved? Here’s what the numbers say (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In winter, old pipework inside the Queen’s Park Glasshouse carried heat towards derelict or vanished parts of the complex, warming places that weren’t in use or didn’t exist anymore. Meanwhile, students at Scotland’s Rural College resorted to portable electric radiators to stay warm inside the greenhouse. While teaching areas were too cold, consultants said the pipe network was bleeding energy outside. When summer arrived, temperatures could soar to 50C, killing plants and disrupting stu

    Once beloved, Glasgow’s Frasers is now a strange and fading relic of its former glory (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    I walk through what I think is the main door of Frasers, although there are several along Buchanan Street, and enter the makeup department. Electric Chapel by Lady GaGa is pulsing through the speakers. A twenty-something sales associate is speaking to two customers from behind a perfume desk. The grand five-storey galleried atrium rises behind him, illuminated with cold autumn sunlight from the glass roof. Formerly House of Fraser, the bones of the Category A-listed department store could have b

    What happens next for Glasgow’s Queen’s Park Glasshouse? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Beneath a pop-up gazebo at the gates to the Queen’s Park Glasshouse in Glasgow, three campaigners are sitting behind a folding table laid out with flyers and petitions. Behind them, the iron bars are adorned with dozens of coloured ribbons and campaign signs painted on large bedsheets. It’s a typical autumn Tuesday. The weather is switching at pace between sunshine and pouring rain. Dozens of people are milling about inside; their figures blurred to dark blobs behind the condensation on the glas
