As the weather during the summer was a bit wet I thought it would be worth starting a topic where everyone can post the photos they may have taken during the rainy summer.

Some photos of the World Pipe Band Championship - Beat the Retreat in George Square the Friday before the competition.

Glasgow is indeed Raintown. And I always thought this song summed it up perfectly.
I remember seeing Ewan Vernal (the DB bassist) with Fish - he played on one of
the big mans albums....

Thanks Fastnet and James

I had always planned to make a video of photos and video taken when it is raining and putting the Deacon Blue - Raintown as the backing track.

May still give it a go at some point.
