Pigeon keeping and community in Glasgow
The Dookit is a pigeon supply shop in Glasgow’s East End, run by Alan Ingram. Part retail, part meeting space, it functions as a social hub for a small but tightly connected group of fanciers. Many visit weekly for feed, medication, and conversation — keeping the shop alive as much as it keeps the birds alive.

An annual game played through the town
In Jedburgh, the streets become a pitch each February as locals take part in the centuries-old game of handba’. The ball, handmade and hand-painted, passes through generations of players. This object sits at the centre of a day-long event shaped by tradition, memory, and collective motion.

Weekend rides and repair culture in Glasgow
Born from a shared interest in off-road cycling and social repair, Magic is a club with no set route. Members build, break, and ride bikes together, often out of hours and out of town. Their scarf – part identity marker, part souvenir – documents those shared moments in motion.
01 — Brighton to Glasgow
Departure
Departure
The journey begins at home. Leaving Brighton with Mum, we move north through familiar cities and long train corridors. There’s an in-between feeling: bags on laps, changing platforms, quiet anticipation. Each transfer marks a step further from the domestic and closer to something older, half-remembered.
Glasgow to Belfast
Crossing
Crossing
In Glasgow, the pace pauses. Then the route turns west: train to Ayr, coach to Stranraer, ferry from Cairnryan. The ferry becomes a threshold – sea and weather forming a border that’s felt more than seen. This section holds the crossing itself, where land gives way to motion, and anticipation builds.
