Buchanan Street, Glasgow
“Buchanan Street is the vibrant heart of Glasgow,” says SMU exchange student Brenna. “This is where the city’s history meets its modern energy,” she adds. As you can hear, this storied pedestrian thoroughfare provides a rich soundscape of Glaswegian life, especially as the hub of the city’s busking culture. If you feel the need to hear the skirl of bagpipes echoing around tall Victorian facades, this would be the place to start your search. From the chatter of shoppers to the laughter of locals, Brenna’s recording captures Glasgow’s unmistakable, gritty, and warm character. Thank ye, Brenna!
