Why locals goA plain Gorbals room cooking salt-stone Peshawari lamb that few visitors ever find south of the river in Glasgow.

Why locals goA Southside social-enterprise cafe run by refugee and migrant women, well loved locally but off most visitors' maps.

Why locals goA natural-wine bar and shop hidden on a quiet Pollokshields corner, far from the city-centre bar crawl and known mostly to Southside locals.
TipIt doubles as a bottle shop, so take home anything you enjoy by the glass at the retail price.
