Great Western Auctions

 Many of you will know of auctioneer Anita Manning from TV shows like Bargain Hunt and Flog It.  Well, this is her auction house in Glasgow.  The thing about Great Western Auctions is that it’s not only about Rolex watches or Faberge eggs, there are also quirky and unusual wee lots to be had and plenty of Glasgow interest.

 A site for everyone with connections with Glasgow—mainly in the East End, but also beyond.  The webmaster is Charlie McDonald, who is very knowledgeable about the Glasgow Regiments and the First World War (hence the title) and lots of that information is available on this site, as well as a lively discussion forum.

 Established in 1792, this is a charity for the Relief of the Poor on the North side of the City.  They don’t have their own website yet, but this link will take you to a page with information about them on the Piggery Brae site (*see more below).

Glickman’s

 That’s correct, the wee sweetie shop at the Barras, that seems to have been there forever.  It’s probably where the Picts bought their sweeties!  Seriously, though, all your favourite sweeties are there and this is their website.

Firstfoot.com

 A bit of everything on this site; Culture, myths, jokes, Glesga words dictionaries, great Scotsmen and women.  Some of the jokes may not be to everyone’s taste and there’s quite a bit of football stuff, but it is an interesting and lively site.
