So, the day is finally here. Glasgow Uncovered, my book of walks around the city, is officially available. You can get on Amazon in the UK on the link below, but it should also be available to order from any bookshop, and it's also available internationally (ISBN:978-1909832893). I'll update on local stockists once these are available.
