Likely written in the early 1900s, the book encapsulates the atmosphere and environment of Glasgow through both text and sketches. The content focuses intricately on notable sites in Glasgow, illustrated by specific drawings of various locations including George Square, Buchanan Street, and the University. Nisbet's writing captures the essence of the city, blending descriptions of its architecture and the bustle of urban life. Each sketch serves as a visual companion to the anecdotes and reflections shared, painting a vivid picture of Glasgow at that time.
