A Slice of Glasgow: Irn-Bru in the Phone Box

by Brian Anderson

There’s something quietly powerful about the ordinary moments that make a place feel like home. My black and white print of an Irn-Bru bottle sitting in an old Glasgow phone box captures one of those small, familiar pieces of the city that often go unnoticed.

Irn-Bru is more than just a drink here. It’s part of the fabric of Scotland—bright, bold, and unapologetically itself. Someone placing it inside a phone box, a relic of another time, creates a quiet conversation between past and present. The image might seem simple, but for me it’s a small love letter to Glasgow and to the everyday things that give it heart.

Sometimes, it’s in the most unassuming corners that we find our truest reflections.
