Glasgow

The Dear Green Place.

Glasgow is Scotland's biggest city, a place of grand Victorian sandstone, great free museums and more than ninety parks and gardens. There's the medieval cathedral and the hilltop Necropolis behind it, Mackintosh's buildings scattered across town, and the Clyde where the ships were built. Its West End is all cobbled lanes and university spires, while the Merchant City and the Southside are full of galleries and bars. These are the places in Glasgow we think are most worth your time.

Riverside Museum.

Sitting close to where the River Clyde meets the River Kelvin, this unashamedly modern cultural attraction was designed by the late Dame Zaha Hadid and opened in 2011. Behind its already iconic façade, the collections themselves focus on the city’s role as a transport and technology powerhouse, with ample space given to Glasgow’s shipbuilding heritage.

Issue 12Spring / Summer 2026

Katie Rose Johnston, a ceramicist born in Shetland who makes her work in Glasgow, once stoked a kiln in Japan in shifts for three days and nights.

Katie, the maker behind Studio Manifesto, first met clay as a Sculpture student at Glasgow School of Art, when a kiln arrived in her third year, and her very first piece was a wee, or small, porcelain chair. Years later came a six-week residency at Shiro Oni studios in Onishi, Japan, firing its Anagama kiln, where potters took shifts to keep the fire stoked continually. 'The whole experience changed me and how I work, something had shifted so monumentally that it’s still hard to describe and took a long time to settle back to making after I got home'. She works in the studio her dad helped her build in his back garden, in the south of Glasgow.
