- The Glesga Ranter - Welcome to my blog, The Glesga Ranter where I’ll be publishing my rants on everything and anything. Some of it will be a lot of useless dross with me going full Victor Meldrew and some might even be remotely interesting.
- Once Upon a Time in the 70s - Nostalgia & Memories of the 1970s.
- Rona McMillan - My name is Rona – I am from the north west coast of Scotland, but currently living in Glasgow. My blog is a documentation of my adventures, travel and time spent outdoors.
- Kris Munro - I am a Glasgow based blogger and have been a blogger since 2016, but testing the waters a little before this. This was a very new area for me but I was eager to learn a new skill and have fun at the same time. I started my blog solely on food, as I was eating a lot and always taking photos of what I eat for Instagram. Over the past few years, I have lowered that to 60% food with 40% for everything else e.g products, travel etc…this means I can have a little variety to what I do.
- Grandma Williams - So here I am, Joyce at 80+ …also known as Grandma Williams. I've travelled the world, written books, been a Physio & TV Presenter. Now I'm 80+ and I'm blogging about the fun and nonsense of being ancient in a modern world and experiencing everyday ageism in all its glory!
- The Life of a Glasgow Girl - My name is Jordanne and I'm the creator behind the blog. I'm just a simple Scottish gal with a chronic illness who loves a good cuppa and all things cats. Here on my blog you can find topics such as Self-care, Mental Health, Everyday life and more.
- Oh, Glasgow! - Everything that makes Glasgow the unique city that I love. Glasgow humour, Glasgow politics, and Glasgow music. This city said Yes to independence.

- 101 Views of Glasgow - or… Ghosts of Glasgow
- Lynsay Loves - Expect me to share my thoughts on everything from where to get an excellent cup of coffee in town, to the latest lipstick I’m obsessing over, DIY home projects, life advice, travels and so much more. I love to write about the little things, the larger things and everything in between – but no matter what the subject may be, you’ll always find it from my point of view.
- STOP! This is getting very silly - See “interests” That's all you need to know, folks . . . oh! I'm not addicted to drink, ciggies, soft drugs,hard drugs,cars, football,Facebook,Twitter,YouTube, eMailing,TV Soaps, TV, video-games, mobile (cell) phones or any of the many other ways open to us for pouring our one and only life down the social networking toilet. And I hope one day to be the last person left alive who starts sentences in blogs, eMails etc WITH A CAPITAL LETTER. And further . . . I hope to live to be 350 million years old. Not because I don't want to die. I want to be eye-witness to tectonic plate movements and the slow drifting away of the moon from our little blue lovely Earth.

I even won an award as I was second place in the Metro newspaper blog awards.

I use this blog as an outlet for all the spending I can't do! I'm inspired by 70s films, music, television, champagne, peonies and, at the risk of sounding really vague, beauty. I am also inspired by my beautiful daughter Serena, though this isn't a mommy blog, so there won't be recommendations for prams and high chairs etc. (last updated 2014)
