Thanks for this. Love the Greenock run-down! And thanks for the mention. I’d forgotten about that article. There’s also Arrivals and Sailings: The Making of George Wyllie, published by Birlinn in 2016 (the year of the moment!). I wrote it with George’s daughter, Louise.
My pleasure! Funnily enough, I got your book out from the library but didn’t quite have time to fully digest it for this. Fascinating character and great to know the expert!
This is a fascinating article Neil. I've never heard of Greenrock so thanks for the introduction. It looks pretty remote. Great photos by the way and congratulations on the feature on the local media.
Ah ok, good comparison! looks like a great place to photograph. Oh, the Jonathan Meades film is incredible, what a production, love his creativity and the way he explains things, thanks so much for the recommendation!

Sorry dear Neil, I’m no expert as I tell myself ALL the time!
Excellent article and photos… most interesting and informative.
Most amusing article. It’s no’ that rough!
Thank you! Hope to see you there this year!!!!
Not if I see you first ;)

Thanks Xavi! It is an hour up the river from Glasgow ... maybe the equivalent of Hastings from Brighton?

Ahhhh, my pleasure. Endless joy from Meades ... alas, he stopped making TV and only does 1000 page novels now.
“Arte povera” is a new one for me 👍🏻
I think there are a few pieces in Tate Modern but it is not all that visible. Very curious to learn more about the time it came to Glasgow.
This is fair, true and very useful information.
