"Great Breaks Glasgow" is a compact travel guide that combines snappy text with full-colour photography to highlight the very best that this lively city has to offer. The Walks and Tours section suggests various routes around the city to discover the key sights that you will not want to miss; from an artistic amble around the West End and Southside on the Mackintosh Tour, to a trip through Glasgow's industrial heritage via the Old Fruitmarket and City Halls on the Merchant City Tour.
This post includes 6 news items taken from the Mary Glasgow Magazine. All items include a news story written in five different levels of English (EL, Pre-Int, Int, Upp-Int and Adv).

I have also included doc and mp3 files seperately for flexibility. Both techers and learners, don't miss this. It'd be a shame.

Suddenly Glasgow's underworld is buzzing with the news that the dredged up bones belong to Gentleman Joe Strachan, Glasgow's most successful and ruthless armed robber.
Eric Chalmers is one of the most popular teachers at Muirpark Secondary School in Glasgow. So when precocious teenager Julie Donaldson accuses Chalmers of rape, the school goes into shock. How could a deeply religious family man like Chalmers do anything like that? And then things get much worse - Julie Donaldson goes missing and the police are called in. For DCI William Lorimer, this is the second missing person's case in a week. Julie's disappearance adds a further burden to Lorimer's already overstretched workload. With hope fading, it becomes a breakneck race against time to find both missing girls...
