The Bothy Project is transforming a stalled space in Glasgow: the site of a Glasgow City Council Cleansing Department building. I first stumbled across the space three years ago and had not been passed it since.
Returning from The Whisky Bond (the red brick building partially seen in the distance), I was drawn to the space again by the presence of a newly painted wall.
A shipping container is being converted into a studio space for artist residencies, with exhibitions in the walled garden. I really look forward to seeing what else happens in this newly emerging place (they were building a great looking pizza oven today !). It already looks like its going to become a great example of how a stalled space can become a creative hub.

It’s always good to receive a ‘like’ but even better to be able to send one. Thanks.
Hi Knittedfog, Thanks for your comment, glad you liked. G
Groningen, in the Netherlands, has quite a few brightly coloured shipping containers just outside of the city centre that were set up as temporary accomodation and are now home to some arty folk too. Makes for a great use of space without the same costs that come from building with traditional bricks and mortar!
Hi Fiona. Thanks sounds like a really interesting place in Groningen, particularly if it is more cost effective ! G
