Evening all,
Jack, the beautiful thing about that photo is that you could take a replica photo today. Salamanca still looks the same! The thing that struck me about your part of the world is that taswegians are very comfortable with their beautiful architectural past and aren't afraid to use it! You totally get that historic building should be used and that part of that is that they need to be malleable. They need to support their current use and be true to their past. You folks get that. We seem to struggle with that up here.
And yes, I spent days wearing out boot leather discovering the CBD! Walked into Arthur's Circus completely by accident! What a wonderful sight! And of course discovered Battery Point the same way. Another day I came across an amazing bookshop in a little cobblestone alleyway. Spent hours in there! The only thing missing was smokey flickering candles for lighting and the seedy Dickensian characters in top hats and black coats!
You've got a great part of the world there!
Cheers,
