Revisiting his native city Ian Spring’s new book charts how it has changed over the last forty years. In it he visits the city’s landmarks, and also his personal landmarks, overlaying the current map of Glasgow with the map in his memory.
Among the shipyards of Govan, the tombs of the Necropolis and the dark beauty of St Mungo’s cathedral, the cathedrals of Ibrox and Hampden Park, the disappearing tenements, the growing café culture and old fashioned pubs Spring recalls the vitality of past times and finds a new and different contemporary vitality.
