Chips, Cheese and Curry Sauce
by Josefine Skomars
Chips, cheese and curry sauce. Pints, pies and pubs. But also, music, art and nature (and other things I can’t alliterate) make up the rich atmosphere of Glasgow. This Scottish city is full of contradictions, at least to a stranger like me, who is visiting to breathe in the nature and admire the mountains rising behind the local Asda; to dance to punk rock and attend the traditional ceilidhs (on both occasions, clad in kilts); who has fallen in love with an artificially red-headed musician, now welcoming me into the quieter parts of Glasgow. My friend and photographer Lars Brønseth joins me to wander this reputedly rather rough city, capturing the essence of the half-Victorian, half-industrial areas, full of history and modern myths, as we end up laughing with the locals, gaining a few kilos of glistening batter, and spending time with Glasgow’s artists and architecture. Both of us feel instantly at home with the loud people of the north.
