Sun, wind, rain, whatever - nobody moves to Glasgow for the weather. Whether it be for education, work, or refuge, moving to a different place can bring feelings of hope and warmth. New arrivals can bring energy to their new home and contribute to the area’s evolution. These images show the beauty in everyday scenery that we often overlook but each of the photographers here has captured the city in their own way.

Love letter to MB and Glasgow
Even moving from London to Glasgow can be a big change. The friendship of fellow migrants made this experience easier for Sibell, and helped her to make a home here.
