Show Notes
The Ubiquitous Chip, a Glasgow institution since 1971, has been granted Category B listed status by Historic Environment Scotland. Known as the Chip, it transformed old stables into a cultural hub on Ashton Lane, benefiting from its prime location near Glasgow University, BBC Scotland, and the Western Infirmary. Famous patrons include Princess Margaret, Mick Jagger, Billy Connolly, and Lewis Capaldi. The restaurant changed hands in 2022, but its true appeal lies in two murals by Alasdair Gray, painted in 1977 and 1980-1981. These murals, depicting a jungle scene and a garden gathering, honor Grays legacy and preserve the Chips spirit for future generations.
