pick a windae
way Social Group met on Saturday 11th of July to do a bit of time travelling at the Police Museum in Bell Street, Glasgow. That may sound difficult but it was made easy with the help of our guide, Alistair Dinsmuir. He might have made a most unusual timelord but he was an excellent, knowledgeable and entertaining guide as he took us on a historical tour through the life and times of the Glasgow Police. He was keen to point out all the ‘firsts’ that the Glasgow force has been involved in. The first ‘first’ was that Glasgow had the first police force anywhere in Britain. It is often claimed in London that the Metropolitan Police is the oldest force in the land, but Glasgow predates that by 50 years. Other firsts were police dogs and a traffic division. There may have been more but my memory is not what it was.

Margaret and I went shopping to Clydebank today. We decided to go to the outdoor market near the canal. When we got there we discovered a party in full swing. It turned out to be part of The West Dunbartonshire Festival. Shopping pretty soon went out of the window (or ‘oot the windae’ if you prefer).
