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!

Silence is Golden
Forum on Silence from St Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow on Vimeo. Somehow I managed to forget to publish this video on the blog but it is worth taking a look. It came from a forum conversation that I had with the Vice Provost, Cedric Blakey the other week. The point of this was to have a…

The Archbishop, the gays and their sins
One of the things that we’ve learned about Archbishop Justin Welby in recent weeks is that he gets upset about what people write about him on social media. He wrote at some length about how what gets written online is upsetting and he’d just prefer to have personal contact with him rather than sounding off…

Review: Orfeo ed Euridice, Scottish Opera
This review originally appeared for Opera Britannia. Scottish Opera have managed to produce another underwhelming show that, though visually arresting, leaves one with more questions than answers. There are things to praise about Ashley Page’s directorial debut for Scottish Opera: his ballet background clearly has given him an intense sense of theatrical spectacle that was…
