Cue Slim Harpo on the turntable
Day started in a coffee shop housed in an elegant bank building.
We noticed thousands of runners, running every which way outside.
Then coming in for coffee.We learned This would go on for hours. Came to find out it is a 2 day event called The Great Scottish Run. Estimated to have 35,000 participants over the weekend
After breakfast went in search of a Swatch shop to get watch band repaired.
Ended up in a huge mall, that was packed with people.There is a huge cordoned off street that runs through the center of the city. Easily over 2 miles long.
It Was packed with people shopping , eating ,strolling ,and feeding into the afore mentioned mall..
I spoke with an employee at the Lego store who told me it was busier than usual due to the run,but most weekends those pedestrian streets are full.
We then stopped for some chips and whiskey me, wine Marlina.
After which we met our walking tour entitled “Street Art In Glasgow. Marlina’s find.
It was looking at Street art in Glasgow
Origen of the word is graffiato, which means to scratch. Graffiti has been around since writing began. This tour focused on Glasgowegin artists

We would pronounce Rogue 1.The 1 at the end refers to that person being the first to use that name.
This work was a commissioned piece by the city council. The council has a fund for street art.Anyone can apply.
We then walked 100 yards further, looked behind and saw this
