"Prof. Donald MacLean, business guru, Gaelic chorister and geo-poet, has contributed a specially written poem for the finale, drawing people and place, rural and urban together, while Mary Ann’s poetic litany marks the city’s story through its names of place. The highest point in Glasgow, Cathkin Braes, affords magnificent views of the whole city, showing its green spaces and waterways in all their glory. Appropriate that this city spiris should have its name rooted in Gaelic as ‘common ground’. The Search for the Dear Green Place is complete – it is everywhere in the city, and it belongs to us all."
