Guys in Candleriggs, Merchant City. Only place where you’ll find sushi, fish & chips, steaks and pasta on the same menu; their Glasgow Tapas is a hoot.

try the Cafe Hula opposite the Theatre Royal. Leave hotel, turn right towards theatre, cross road. Relaxed place, nice food and atmosphere.
-
Cafe Rouge is a nice wee French place in Royal Exchange Square (down Buchanan Street and turn left at the All Saints shop). Kama Sutra for good Indian, particularly recommend the lunch buffet, about ten minutes walk along Sauchiehall Street going west.

Agree with Pam that Cafe Hula is a good and also endearingly quirky.

Thanks Kelvin and to all who posted suggestions. I am really looking forward to the PCN conference and a chance to explore Glasgow – the next thing i’m after is a good book shop!

Waterstones on Sauchihall Street is the best you are going to find close to where you are staying.
Catholics books from St Paul’s bookshop in Royal Exchange Square.
Second-hand from the Oxfam bookshop in Byers Road, if you venture to the West End.

Hard to beat the Cornerstone Bookshop below St. John’s in Edinburgh! The last time I was there Margaret made me tea and gave my children Ribena – an act of great faith in a bookshop believe you me…

Second hand bookshops Voltaire & Rousseau in Otago Lane and Caledonia Books on Great Western Rd

Just a quick thanks for all suggestions.
Really loving Glasgow – might even topple Edinburgh as my favourite city break. Real buzz. Wonderful burger in hula – Dali at museum – quirky hotel – books galore – wonderful conference – and now a mojito and off to bed!

The Pottery at Drymen is great if you want to go that far – good conventional food, excellent service, reasonable prices and no muzak!

Listen up! Moocs are the future
OK listen up. Moocs are the future. Now before we go any further, let’s get the usual responses out of the way. The usual responses are twofold: What’s a mooc? (Most people) *rolls eyeballs* (lots of academics, including quite a few in my congregation) Firstly, a mooc is a term used for a new form…
