A treat to welcome former Manuscripts Curator National Library of Scotland Sally Harrower & artist Joyce Gunn Cairns today.
Both had long standing creative relationships with AG. Was wonderful to catch up with them both and reminisce about Alasdair ❤️

So proud to have been part of this amazing project. I wrote a psychological exploration of Godwin Baxter. Read it and so much more at poorthingsnovel.com #PoorThings #TheAlasdairGrayArchive
Poor Things
Having had a sneak peak at this, I can say this is an incredible resource. Packed full of thought provoking writing, educational prompts & expertly designed to really capture the playfulness of the book. #TheAlasdairGrayArchive #PoorThings
First up was Landsdowne Church on Great Western Road. Then a hike up the hill to 18 Park Circus. Not many changes around here but the mews cottages in the lanes have been smartened up in the last 30 years.

Down the steps and into Kelvingrove Park. I thought Alasdair would be interested to see the new buildings that have gone up where the Western Infirmary once stood and where some older buildings have been revealed.

I really enjoyed this tour and I'll definitely do it again as well as the East End and City Centre tours. Give The Alasdair Gray Archive a follow for details, maps and info on the locations featured.
