'On my gravestone I want it to say ‘he made things happen’'

There have been highs and lows, but it has been 'worth while', says Michael.

As the West End Festival kicks off today, it will be the last time for its director as he prepares to say goodbye to the event he founded 25 years ago. Michael Dale spoke about his time at the helm of Scotland's biggest community festival and the challenges facing local cultural events.

  • Seansfanclub profile imageThis is an overhead view of my local park. Tollcross Park in Glasgow. There’s a rose competition held there every year. The park is tended by Council gardeners. The design in rose trees is Mackintosh’s Glasgow rose, isn’t it beautiful. #proud #Glasgow 🌹 Twitter embedded image 1 day ago by Seansfanclub

    GlasgowCC profile imageSadly, there are tree removal works that must take place in the woodland around Kelvin Way and Hillhead Primary next week (w/b 13 March), as a number of Ash trees have a disease called ‘Ash Dieback’ and cannot be saved 😞🌳 (1/2) Twitter embedded image 1 week ago by GlasgowCC

  • is_glasgow profile imageThis is the Ruthven Lane Cat in the west end of Glasgow, and its a bit of a mystery. It's high on a wall on the back of an old tenement building, and it really doesn't look like it belongs there.
