Hi all. With another series of BBC2's 'Inside Central Station' looming, it seems a good idea to remind everyone that I am available to all sorts of groups to do a Grahamston powerpoint talk, at no cost!
A small donation to the RNLI charity is all.

My 45 min talk has maps & tales of Glasgow's first theatre, lost statue,& existing buildings from the period, when Glasgow's boundary was Hope St (aka Copenhagen St)!

Interested? Please contact me for dates for your clubs, societies, Probus,community, mental health groups, libraries,etc. Hope to hear from you.
