Did You Know? Part of the Antonine Wall runs through the course of Cawder Golf Club. The nursery rhyme 'Wee Willie Winkie' was written by Glasgow man William Miller. Rab Ha', a nineteenth-century celebrity known as 'the Glasgow glutton', once ate an entire calf. 'The Little Book of Glasgow' is an intriguing, fast-paced, fact-packed compendium of the sort of frivolous, fantastic or simply strange information which no-one will want to be without. Here we find out about the most unusual crimes and punishments, eccentric inhabitants, famous sons and daughters and hundreds of fascinating facts.
