Default McGill University

I live a few minutes walk from the University of Glasgow and, while we were just wandering around this weekend, I saw this memorial stone - I had no idea about the connection with McGill.

I knew McGill was a Scotsman (there's a bit of a clue in the name...) but hadn't appreciated he was an alumnus of Glasgow. That's a cool find. My better half is a McGill grad; there's an outside chance we may be in Glasgow later this year for the Commonwealth Games (not, I hasten to add, as competitors!) so will seek it out if we get an opportunity

I have nothing to add to this thread other than the delight of seeing two OG posters communicating!

There's apparently a Tim Horton's in Glasgow.

It'll be like you never left Oakville!

Yes, it's certainly much quieter here these days. Hope everyone in the Canada forum keeping well.

Yes, there is, and no, I've never been in it
