Theatre Royal is the oldest surviving theatre in Glasgow, the original building dating from 1867…read morewhen it opened as Bayliss' Coliseum before being renamed as Theatre Royal in 1869. Perhaps uniquely, it has been rebuilt twice by architect C J Phipps following major fires in 1880 and 1895. Although not as prolific a theatre architect as Frank Matcham, Phipps' style is splendidly represented in this building, regarded as the largest and best surviving example of his work. But don't judge the building from its bland exterior; you have to see the wonderfully ornate auditorium to really appreciate Phipps' work. The building was home to STV's studios for many years, before being sold to Scottish Opera in 1975, and it has been their home stage ever since, and is also the main home to Scottish Ballet's productions as well as being a main-scale house on the UK touring circuit. The stage is not huge by today's standards, but it's still larger than many London theatres and is the largest Glasgow can offer at the moment. The theatre is currently run and programmed by ATG (as is the Kings), so Glasgow is well served by the big touring shows. Currently the building is having a new foyer added at the corner of Hope Street and Cowcaddens in the form of a round tower, which has been a major feat of engineering to fit in with the existing architecture. As part of this refurbishment parts of the auditorium have been altered to something closer to the original design, with old entrance arches and the seating layout restored to improve audience flow and sightlines. Like any theatre, this one has a few ghosts, and like the Edinburgh Festival Theatre, there was a fire-related incident here that resulted in new legislation coming into force. In 1969, when STV moved out of the building into their new premises next door and the theatre was being restored, there was a major fire in the sub-stage area. The fire department tackled this with the then relatively new technique of pumping suppressant foam into the fire. One of the fire officers Archie McLay, working in the darkness of the stage area, fell through the stage floor into the sub-basement of the building - this extends about 20m underneath the stage floor and is carved out of solid bedrock (it was a former quarry), so it was full of foam. He was not reported as missing until the fire was under control, by which time it was too late. Resulting from this dreadful accident, the fire department introduced a 'deadman switch' device to be worn by all officers, which would radio an alarm signal if the officer was stationary for more than a few minutes. This incident is now marked by a stone plaque in the pavement of Hope Street. There have been a few reported sightings of Archie in the sub-basement, and most staff who have occasion to be down there late at night when the building is quiet will report a spooky atmosphere and a feeling like they are being watched by ghostly eyes...

I'm fairly certain I've seen things here prior to the refurb, but for the life of me I just can't…read moreremember. However, since the refurb I've been several times: some plays and operas. And i like it. Vanilla Black's has moved from Sauchiehall St, and is now the resident café for the theatre - and it's turned out to be a handy place for me to pop in for a quick work lunch. The foyer itself is open, spacious, and very welcoming - the spiral staircase is awesome, and is becoming an iconic feature of the theatre. Beyond that, it's functional and does what you expect, and you'll tend to find quite a lot of less populist productions here. The only downside is the extreme pricing at the bar. Seriously, £11 for 2 bottles of cheap lager is disgustingly extortionist.

The Continental Market in Glasgow is a funny one, it seems to be almost exactly the same stalls…read morethat visit during the not-especially-German Christmas market. Nevertheless, I always enjoy wandering around a good selection of market stalls and you'll certainly find that on Sauchiehall Street whenever the Market comes to visit. Both the variety and the quantity of stalls here is pretty good - many of the more popular stalls are duplicated at each end of the market to cater for the high numbers of customers they expect. Probably about two thirds of the stalls available sell food; everything from traditional sweeties to churros and bratwurst to jerk chicken can be found. There's hot curry, Greek Souvlaki, Paella and stews, as well as cheeses, cured meats, jams, pickles, spices bread, pastries and cakes to take home. A bit of everything, really. The other stalls sell gifts, plants and jewellery. There's plenty of small businesses selling things like home made soaps and candles and you can expect scarves and accessories available too. My main reason to visit is usually to find something a bit different for lunch, but it's not rare that I end up picking up some interesting bread and a gift or two as well. I always take the time to visit when the market is here, I just wish that we had more like this in Glasgow.

During my last visit on Saturday i stopped at the Italian stand (of course!) - the guys were really friendly and chatty, they got me to taste few pastries (almond pastry was sooo good) and few kind of cheese, and at the end i got a slice of Pecorino Romano and a slice of Toma Piemontese. I have to admit price was really expensive (£13!) but where else can you find original Italian cheese over here, and most of all, at cheap prices? Nowhere! So it was a good purchase, but will save them for as long as i can LOL!
