I head out into a grey Glasgow with a slight drizzle with my first destination for the day being the cathedral.
A very impressive building and the fact that it was a little worse for wear just added to the charm.
It would have been nice to have some sort of explanation to the bullet holes in the door to the sacristy but the only thing I managed to find out was that it was from "troubled times".
That's fairly non-explanatory since the building was erected 1136, the world have seen more than a few troubled times in the last millennia.
Right across the square is St Mungos museum of religious life and art.
A pretty bizarre mish-mash of religious artefacts and cultural traditions but still worth passing through since the entry was free.
Actually nothing I did in all of Glasgow demanded an entry fee so that was a plus.
From here it was just across the street to Provand's Lordship garden.
The garden itself wasn't particularly interesting but the row of very peculiar heads (which meaning I never understood) where pretty funny.
On my way to the city centre I come across one of the most amazing murals I've ever seen in my life.
It depicts an old man with a bird on his finger and is painted all across the gable of a four story building.
I had to Google the backstory: It's painted by an Australian street artist called Smug and took about a week to finish.
It depicts Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow in modern day clothes.
Apparently when Mungo was young some kids where throwing stones at some Robins that where pecking for scraps on the ground.
One of the birds was hit and feel to the ground.
The boys ran away but Mungo picked it up, caressed it and prayed for it and after a while it came too and flew away.
Obviously the most reasonable conclusion wasn't the bird was stunned and came too but no obviously it was Mungos prayers that woke the little fella from the dead and thus what they had was a miracle.
I came across other beautiful street-art pieces in Glasgow but none that came even close to this.
Since I was brought up on the political left side of the street it might have been that I was simply drawn to the Peoples palace (or it could simply have been that it's in the guidebook) but regardless of what brought me there it was a pretty neat place with interesting exhibits and a really nice café in a greenhouse with a botanical garden.
I'm starting to grow a bit tired of fish & chips but in this setting it was alright.
I walk across almost all of central Glasgow to The Lighthouse, a building erected for the newpaper Glasgow Herald at the end of the 1800:s by some kind of local hero Charles Mackintosh.
Nowadays it's a museum for modern architecture and art.
That pretty much means it's a nursery for hipsters but still, the building was impressive and the view from the tower was nice.
On my way back to my "hotel" I not only get dinner, I also do my poor feet a great service by buying a new pair of walking shoes.
The old Eccos I've been lugging around has really been ready for retirement a long time ago and considering I've walked about 30kms in just the last two days in Glasgow it's pretty much an investment.
Tennant brewery, The pride of Glasgow. They hade very nice murals on the wall surrounding the brewery.
Back at the cathedral but today I got to enjoy from the inside as well.
A four hundred year old copy of King James bible.
The door to the sacristy, you'll notice the row of bullet holes.
