Very much looking forward to lacing up my boots (and probably raincoat too - let's face it it's October in Glasgow) 🌧️and making my way round Neil Scott's #Brutalist walking tour. #BrutalGlasgow

Most of us Glaswegians have seen the BOAC building. Big. Bold. Memorable. #Brutalist. Yet also strangely clandestine, tucked into Buchanan Street's sandstone. Thanks to Natalie whose illustration brought the BOAC back into the foreground for me #Brutalism #Glasgow

As a Julian of Norwich enthusiast (dare I say, fangirl?), I cannot express quite how delighted I am that more Medieval women are speaking loud and clear British Library this autumn. Medieval Manuscripts #MedievalTwitter

Why does Glasgow give its brutalist buildings such a hard time? I dug deeper into the city's love/hate relationship with concrete for The Bell. Interviews with Natalie Niall Murphy Wyndford Residents Union Rachel Loughran glasgowbell.co.uk/glasgow-brutal…

#brutalglasgow has now ended. Working with the amazingly talented Rachel Loughran and the great folk at Glasgow City Heritage Trust has been a wonderful experience and one I’ll remember. Thanks for all the visitor feedback. Hopefully we’ve helped show these buildings in a new light ✨

The #BrutalGlasgow walking tour ended at this classy number👇👀! The ‘A’ listed St Andrew’s First Aid HQ on Milton Street. A rare and strikingly modern building by architects Skinner, Bailey & Lubetkin. That huge super-graphic X is such a period piece. Should be better known…🥰!
