A fine example of a wally close in the Broomhill area of Glasgow. A wally close is a tiled a commununal stairwell a Glasgow tenement, with the word wally being a Scots word for anything made from ceramics or china. This can include wally dugs (china dogs), and wallies (or false teeth). This, in itself, is derived from an older meaning of anything fancy, splendid or highly decorative.

I'll be at the Byres Road Market in Hillhead Library again this Saturday from 11am until 4pm, with my Glasgow-themed books, prints, calendars, and the last four sets of these rather beautiful tenement tile ceramic coasters, which are the perfect present for the tenement fan in your life.

I've temporary removed them from my online store so I don't run out of stock before saturday, but if I have any left I'll put them back up again afterwards.
