College of Piping and Pipers Tryst Hotel Glasgow

[cessna152towser]

I was on a bus trip yesterday around Glasgow. The event involved riding a 1961 ex-London Routemaster on some of the Glasgow routes which it served beween 1986 and 1992. I've uploaded my full set of thirty pics from the day to Flickr but here I post only the two which are of relevance to Xmarks. Firstly approaching the junction with Cowcaddens Road from the top of Hope Street the sandstone building we see comprises the National Piping Centre (left) and the Pipers Tryst Hotel (right).

Posing later in Glasgow University tartan for a photo at Summerston terminus on the north-western suburbs of Glasgow. I am not yet fully recovered, later in the day I took a dizzy turn and fell over. No serious injury, just a minor graze to my knee, but because I am on warfarin it dribbled blood throughout the drive home, soaking the inner apron of the kilt in blood. Overnight and today I have been steeping the affected area of the kilt in cold water to try to remove the stain.
