Grit: a supremely excellent word.

Here’s your inspirational photo of the hour (taken while walking along Cowcaddens Road, towards The National Piping Centre, Glasgow, [August 2008] with TPPB alumnus, Derek Midgley).

The photo may just be a roadside box of City sand for icy roads, but, I say, it still has a certain charm, and symbolism. Maybe even a metaphor for Glasgow:

A lot of practice and a little grit and you'll be on your way!
