Glasgow at night

I don't go out at night in Glasgow. I walk home after work far more than what is reasonably safe. Glasgow is, unfortunately, a dangerous city between the hours of 7PM and 6AM. Random violent crimes (stranger rapes, muggings, stabbings) happen often enough and wide spread enough that saying "it only happens in the east end" or "you're fine if you stay out of trouble" are meaningless rationalizations.

It's a shame, because Glasgow is a beautiful city, and despite the drunk and disorderly downtown area on friday and saturday night, it is a beautiful city to walk around at night.

Here are some photos of Glasgow at night by Jason Hawke in his series 'Britain at Night'
