4. Fellow Glasgow Residents, Ingram Street Car Park

Having finished our pint, and pondered the wonders of Glasgow’s ‘oldest bar’, we continued down High Street and turned right on to Ingram Street, into Glasgow’s Merchant City.

The Fellow Glasgow Residents mural spans the full wall of the City Halls and Old Fruitmarket Building, bringing a wave of colour to what was once a grey, gable end wall, covered in graffiti.

There are two main features to the wall; a kilted man picking a mushroom and a series of Scottish woodland animals (who could be considered as fellow Glasgow residents).

Our version of the mural reenactment involved me picking up another empty bottle of EL-D, some fantastic acting as I became a badger, and Alex & I moonlighting as a bellowing stag and a nose licking fox... classy!

5. Badminton, Wilson Street

This mural was created in the lead up to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games as part of the marketing for the event. It depicts action shots of Scotland badminton player Kieran Merrilees and is part of a collection of four murals by the same artist. The other three murals can be found on the gable end of tenement blocks in Glasgow’s West End, near Partick train station, and represents the Commonwealth sports of netball, rugby and hockey.

Antz and I made it our mission to copy the poses, with my mobile phone becoming the badminton racket... there's an app for everything these days!

6. Space Man, New Wynd Lane

The Space Man mural can be found on a wall in New Wynd lane, just off Trongate, a short walk from mural five.

Created by Ali Wylie, this mural is very different in style from the other murals, inspired by pop, graphic novels, graphic design and Japanese culture.

Not many people know but Scotland has a growing space sector and Glasgow manufactures more satellites than anywhere in Europe. This was one of my least favourite murals, still impressive, but it does not feel as fitting as other murals (maybe as it’s stuck down a lane and not easy to view from the street).

Here's Antz and I pretending we're floating in space, our hoods are clearly space helmets.

Detour 3 - Britannia Panopticon Music Hall

The Space Mural is directly outside the entrance to the Britannia Panopticon Music Hall, a building I previously knew nothing about (there are so many hidden gems in Glasgow). This is the oldest surviving music hall in the world and is where Stan Laurel made his stage debut.

The building is now owned by a registered charity - The Friends of the Britannia Panopticon Hall Trust - with the aim of continuing the legacy of the hall, advancing the conservation of the building and ensuring the building's future as a visitor attraction, museum and working venue.

The building is open for free general viewing and we entered up the steps to find patrons practicing for a song and dance performance. They welcomed us, let us look around, take some photos, and informed us of some of the history, encouraging us to spread word of the building and charity. So here I finally am, spreading the word.

It's a really interesting, historic building, which has many original features and a lot of charm. I'd encourage everyone to check it out and make a donation if you can.

Here are some pictures we took inside... Alex, of course, found a piano!
