Rather striking and wonderfully colourful modern stained glass windows in Saint Mary's Kirk, depicting the six days of creation. Here are days one to three.

"More steam, MacPhail, you blaggard!"

Monument celebrating the wonderful Clyde Puffer, as seen in Para Handy, by the canal marina at Kirkintilloch. Many were built & launched from this spot, one upon a time.

This original part of the Auld Aisle Cemetery , overgrown with a small forest around the centuries old tombstones now, also boasts a Resurrection Tower, where watch would be kept for body snatchers, illicitly dug up & sold to unscrupulous medical schools for dissection training.

This original part of the Auld Aisle Cemetery is mostly walled off from the much larger one, and overgrown with foliage and trees, old headstones between them, like a graveyard in a forest, some entirely swallowed by growth (you only realise you're walking on a tombstone from the feel, the grass giving way to hard stone, covered up)

During research for my 2018 book Noisesome Ghosts, which focuses on and that have the ability to write or speak, I found an concentration of these rare & communicative entities in . In my 2020 article in Paranormal Review (95) I make the case for Glasgow as being the ghost capital of (if not the globe). The writing or speaking there include: the crisis of Bounce (a dog) which appeared to its former mistress in Glasgow & spoke in a human voice (1908), the anniversary of George Ferguson which gave details of its own murder (1913), a council estate where a made an accurate warning about a serious medical condition (1960s), the poltergeist: where a bed tapped out the tune of ‘The Dead March’ (1974-1975), the case of John Adams: which included effects and possession (1970s, 1990s), the East End, Glasgow poltergeist: where electronic voice phenomena () were recorded (1990s), the of airline Captain Robert D. Macleod that accompanied its own dead body through Glasgow airport & spoke to colleagues (1995), poltergeist phenomena at a twenty-first century building re-development which included responsive raps & an screaming “GET OUT!” at a researcher & the poltergeist where an entity terrorised a young family & traced letters in flour (2011-2012).

Actually it's the Maryhill, a working, scale version of the classic Clyde Puffer, many of which were built & launched near this spot in

My friend was reading this random internet article about an apple pie judged the best in .

It sounded like it was judged in a manner straight out of Agatha Raisin which added to the story.

Anyway, the winner is made at a bakery near us so we popped down the road and got one — and gotta say, damn fine apple pie.

Obviously I haven’t tasted every other apple pie in Scotland, but you could do worse than get to Peter’s Bakery in and get yourself an apple pie.

Clouds drifting along the summit line of the Campsie Hills, as bursts of bright, winter sunlight break through the clouds to illuminate the great geological features. View from parental mansion.

View from the parental mansion this Day: clouds, slowly drifting along the summit line of the vast geological bulk of the Campsie Hills, odd burst of sunlight piercing the cloud cover to create spotlights, moving slowly along the steep flanks of the hills

Light trails; as dad was giving me a lift back to the station, we paused on a bridge for a quick night shot, looking down on the modern Initiative Road in Kirkintilloch. More shots on my Flickr flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_g

@LordWoolamaloo Here’s the Roll of Honour from St Mary’s church and the window shown in it. Visited on Doors Open Day in September.
