Glasgow's mostly Victorian city centre is said to resemble that of 19th-century New York. Filmmakers love it for this reason, particularly at Hope Street and St Vincent Street.
Take a few steps off George Square and into the City Chambers and look up. Gleaming acres of marble, alabaster, gold leaf, mosaics and mahogany, recede in mad Piranesi perspectives.
There is real strife here, but great wit and beauty and spirit too. Glasgow is a city that requires a kind of double vision if you are to see it clearly.
