HG Walk - Crossing Glasgow by Barge, Sun 22nd April

Postby Josef » Fri Mar 23, 2012 5:09 pm

...except without the barge.

By clamorous public demand, a companion walk to the recent 'Crossing Glasgow by Lane'.

The walk will again be led by Ronnie, and will follow the Glasgow spur of the Forth & Clyde Canal from Port Dundas to Maryhill, then on to Anniesland. There may or may not be an extension back along Great Western Road (and by-roads) to Hilhead underground.

Assemble : 11:00, Cowcaddens Underground.

I'd like to nominate the first stop off as Jaconelli's on Maryhill Road.

Excellent, count me in, my old stomping ground. Despite having spent my formative years in Harymill, I'm prepared to bet that Ronnie's going to point out things which I have been blissfully ignorant of :D .

this is the story of mad mental shug
maryhills only three legged dug
noo shug had little respect for the law
as he searched for the man who shot his paw
for life had been hard for shug you see
especially when nature called for a tree
a dilemna for sure a question of ethics
for no one had invented yet doggie prosthetics
he swore on the bible his revenge he would get
on the man who crippled this once household pet
for year upon year his anger was festerin
till one night he took aff to the country and western
he called on the sherrif a wee partick man
who said shug i will help you all that i can
he rounded up a posse to find who was to blame
but alas for poor shug it was the man with no name.

If there's enough interest, I might be able to offer a wee exclusive HG tour round Maryhill Burgh Halls and our old and new stained glass windows as part of this? Seeing as the route will be passing by anyway!

Quite timely, there's a lecture tonight on the history of the canal at Glasgow City Heritage Trust... details below!
