The Hidden Glasgow Forums

I am sure there are a few computer boffins on this forum and I would really appreciate some advice.

Anybody up for a Photo scavenger hunt for September??

If not there, then very nearby parallel to this line. I despise what has been done to Townhead and surrounding areas over the years. I did not reco...
