There is, I think, quite a vibrant weblogger community up here. First was scottishBlogs.co.uk (courtesy of Gordon’s hard work), which has resulted in a few blog meets, which have been marvellously enjoyable events (more here and here). There are also over 500 people in the Glasgow Flickr group. Not bad for a city widely thought to be ‘grim’ by almost everybody who’s never been here (myself included, until I did). Try shattering a few preconceptions and browse about the group for what you’re missing out on 
The Scottish Blogging Roundup is another. It’s a general roundup, with a primary focus on politics, but plenty of non-political entries to lighten the tone! I even featured last year with my Mary Slessor ramble (you know, the woman who stares out from the £10 clydesdale note), which was nice!
With the Scottish elections coming up next year, and trying to keep an ear to the ground of what’s interesting and noteworthy (as well as much that isn’t, and makes for pleasant diversions) the Scottish roundup looks like it’ll be a very useful item in my Safari weblog feed menu, and I think the guys behind it (CuriousHamster and doctorvee) deserve a pat on the back for their efforts. Keep it up guys!
