Glasgow Handbook by Alan Murphy
This guide to the city of the future offers walking routes around the city's nooks and crannies; an at-a-glance cuisine section to suit all budgets and tastes and focuses a spotlight on contemporary popular culture - from design heaven art galleries to the clubland scene. It provides hints on what to do if it's raining, where to find the best cafe lattes and when to take in the festival fever. A close up on architecture and Glasgow on screen is also featured.
Alan Murphy first tried his stand-up comedy act on Glasgow's terminally-unimpressed audiences, but despite some near-death experiences and the realisation that he should not give up the day job, he came to fall in love with this most down-to-earth and honest of cities. Following a spell in journalism, Alan swapped shorthand notebook for rucksack and left for the much warmer jungles of South America to spend time travelling. However, it was the writing bug that bit and he ended up working as a travel editor on a Bolivian newspaper. Since returning to Scotland, Alan has written Footprint guides to Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela and, more recently, his native country. Rebecca Ford studied Geography at St Andrews University. She then worked in advertising, before becoming a full time travel writer. She specialises in Britain and Italy, and her work has appeared in publications such as the Daily Telegraph, the Evening Standard and Scotland on Sunday.
