- 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.

- 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.

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 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)
