I was thinking of doing the Glasgow Bus Tour with my video camera. Trying to find some time so that I can do it during the week has been difficult this summer There is just one elelction after another
Hopefully one day I will be able to fit it in.

Lovely Alex...I've been once..but just kind of passing through....are those wee bike things for postmen or those touristy sightseeing things?
|
Alex Glass

The bikes are free transport within a an area from O'Connell Street.
Enough room for two people in the back.

Given the steadiness of your hand Alex, I take it these pictures were before the obligatory visit to the Guinness brewery

Just having a wee poke of fun there Alex lol...
Any idea why it was mounted on the building as there is usually some legend attached to these things..

Looks like there`s a leg end attached to the clock in the last pic

No worries Cybers.
Haven't got any information about the compass. I spotted it and didn't think to take a full photo of the building.
I have just checked my original photos and the building must be near O'Connell Street as the photo was taken during the bus tour.
