Om denne bog

Did You Know?

  • Part of the Antonine Wall runs through the course of Cawder Golf Club.

  • The nursery rhyme ‘Wee Willie Winkie’ was written by Glasgow man William Miller.

  • Rab Ha’, a nineteenth-century celebrity known as ‘the Glasgow glutton’, once ate an entire calf.

The Little Book of Glasgow is an intriguing, fast-paced, fact-packed compendium of the sort of frivolous, fantastic or simply strange information which no-one will want to be without. Here we find out about the most unusual crimes and punishments, eccentric inhabitants, famous sons and daughters and hundreds of fascinating facts.

Geoff Holder’s new book gathers together a myriad of data on Glasgow. Discover why two archbishops had a fight at the door of the cathedral, find directions to an Egyptian pharaoh and a Native American chief, and learn where you can find half-a-dozen Tardises. A handy reference and quirky guide, this book is essential reading for visitors and locals alike.
