I’ve such good reminiscences of happening vacation as a child to a caravan park in Nairn, which backed on to the seashore. You understand what reminiscences of childhood holidays are like anyway, you at all times keep in mind white sands and the summers at all times gave the impression to be sunny, nevertheless it’s a surprising seashore.
It’s such a big place that we truly took my mum’s ashes to be scattered there regardless that you’re not likely supposed to do this.
Coming from the west, I even have to say Inchcailloch in the midst of Loch Lomond. We used to go there as youngsters to camp and there are some stunning sandy seashores there.
Finest Constructing
Even simply excited about Glasgow, there are such a lot of stunning terraces and buildings that you may select from, For me essentially the most spectacular constructing is Templeton’s Carpet Manufacturing facility on Glasgow Inexperienced.
I truthfully assume that if you happen to took {a photograph} of that and confirmed it to somebody, they might by no means assume it was in Glasgow. It has this nearly Moorish really feel about it. It has nice reminiscences for me too as a result of when Moist Moist Moist performed Glasgow Inexperienced, we did our press convention there.
Finest Road
There are such a lot of streets in Clydebank which have nice reminiscences of childhood, however I’ve to decide on Byres Street in Glasgow. I believe whenever you get to town, you’ll at all times head for essentially the most bohemian half and Byres Street is definitely it.
It’s such a definite space, notably with the actually fascinating lanes that run off it. It had such a giant impact on me all these years in the past.
Finest Childhood Reminiscence
This one is clearly in Clydebank. We had music and we had soccer and fairly rightly on the ages of 12 or 13, our mums and dads wouldn’t permit us to go as much as Glasgow to Rangers or Celtic video games. So I ended up at Kilbowie Park.
And in some ways these reminiscences have gotten nothing to do with the soccer, though that they had guys like Davie Cooper at the moment. It was about being together with your buddies and being a part of one thing. There was a sense within the air particularly on the summer time evenings – that low glow within the sky. Even now it feels fairly magical to me.
Finest Stroll or Cycle
Earlier than I bought pneumonia final yr, I used to be actually eager on getting on my bike. I used to be even satisfied into the Lycra!
I’d cycle quite a bit the place I stay now, south of London, however once I was again at my mum’s I used to be staying in my teenage bed room and I’d take the bike out round Clydebank.
Locations just like the Nolly – the canal that goes by way of Clydebank and on to the West Highland Approach. The opposite means takes you all the way down to the Maryhill locks. That was at all times a favorite place for me.
Finest View
I went as much as Islay on the finish of final yr. My good friend and I generally go up there to write down. There’s a spot referred to as Ardnahoe, the place you look over Jura and Islay – they’re so shut to at least one one other and also you see the 2 mountains on Jura.
The good factor for me is it “proper sizes” me. It exhibits that there’s one thing greater than us – and that’s what makes it such a wide ranging view for me.
Finest Store
I’ve at all times been obsessive about music and my fondest reminiscences are of going as much as Pay attention Data. There have been a few them however I’d go to Renfield Road as a result of my brother labored in there.
I believe I should have purchased most of my information in there. It was an absolute ceremony of passage – that sort of curiosity kinds your social circle and nearly kinds your opinions on life.
Finest Scottish Delicacy
There are such a lot of now however residing in England you do miss vegetable pakora, which I now see as a Scottish delicacy. However I’ve to say there’s additionally nothing like a well-fired roll. I’d at all times get them once I was at my mom’s and I take them again down south as a result of my son loves them.
And, in fact, it’s important to put a packet of crisps in them – I do wish to attempt to maintain that reference to Scotland going!
Finest Place for Alone Time
There’s a spot in Clydebank referred to as Cochno. I grew up across the Cochno Street and, if you happen to go proper as much as the highest, there’s a view the place you look over Glasgow Airport and you’ll see the planes coming in.
I did a variety of that once I was youthful, and I did a variety of that once I was again staying at my mom’s a number of years again. I’d go as much as the highest of Cochno Street. There are a number of farms and sporadic homes however primarily it’s that view throughout Glasgow that clears my head.
