    My second post in my Historic Scotland series features The Tenement House. This National Trust for Scotland (NTS) time capsule of the turn of the 20th Century can be found on Buccleuch Street in Glasgow, just north of Sauchiehall Street.

    Susan vividly remembers staying at her Uncle Billy & Aunt Teresa’s Tenement in Linthouse, Glasgow, as a child. Her grandpa also lived in a tenement Penilee, again in Glasgow.

    The particular tenement we are visiting is of Miss Toward.

    I’m starting my historic Scotland?????? series with some shots of old ships in Dundee taken on our recent visit.

    Unfortunately, we weren’t aware that some historical interest sites in Dundee are closed on Mondays. These shots are all external, but we will be visiting Dundee again & getting some internal shots of these old vessels.

    Greenan Tower in the mist
    Greenan Tower in the mist

    I decided to do a few AI transformations for this tranquil scene (see the carousel). I thought a good starting point would be a mystical setting; both runs came out really well, although I think the first looks more like the structure of the Tower as it is. Next up, I went for an enchanted/baroque fusion; the second in this run came out looking very oriental. It was back to a mystical setting next but blended with cyberpunk. The third set of runs is in a style called Hollywood Regency; this, to me, looks very Art Deco. My final re-imagining was in the Regency style. What’s your favourite
