Kenzie's hand was wrapped tight in y/n's, pulling her toward yet another fairground ride, y/n chuckling at the excited footballer who was already paying for the two of them.

"In ya go ladies." The man nodded, letting the two girls climb into the Ferris wheel seat and pushing the bar down to keep them safe. The wheel moved slowly and Kenzie grinned.

"What's got you so excited?" y/n asked her girlfriend who happily wrapped an arm around her so they could cuddle together.

"On a night like this? The view is gonna be beautiful!" Kenzie explains.

"I can think of a prettier view." y/n replies cheekily, pressing a kiss to the reddening cheek of Kenzie.

"You're such a sappy bitch." Kenzie giggled, and y/n huffed pushing her lightly as they moved again, slowly toward the top.

"I try and be all romantic and what do I get?" y/n huffs and Kenzie laughs again.

"Okay, okay I'm sorry! I love you cheesy pick up lines, promise!" Kenzie hums and y/n chuckles again wrapping an arm around Kenzie's shoulders as they move once more, nearly at the top.

"I'm glad you dragged me here Kenz." y/n hums after a moment of silence.

"Really?" Kenzie asks, eyes bright with happiness after remembering her pleading to her girlfriend to come with her.

"Yes, really." y/n promises and Kenzie leans up to peck her girlfriend's lips in thanks just as they move closer to the top. "Wow." y/n gasps the view of Glasgow around her beautiful.

"Yeah." Kenzie sighs, joining y/n in her shock and awe of the beauty around them.

As y/n looked out in wonder, Kenzie couldn't help but take a picture, the innocence in her stance and the view around worth the dry look she was sent by her girlfriend.

After Kenzie taking a few more photos the two seemed to finally be at the top, looking out at the world below, they smiled in wonder and their fingers linked as they took each other's hands.

Looking up at the stars, y/n sighed softly enjoying the comfortable silence which had been casted over her and her girlfriend as they watched.

"I think I'm in love with you." Kenzie whispered quietly, their seat moving away from the top spot and back toward the ground.

"What?" y/n asks, turning to her girlfriend with wide eyes. y/n had been in love with Kenzie pretty much the second they took the step to be girlfriends, but she had never said so.

Kenzie had asked to take it slow, to take tentative steps into their relationship so y/n didn't want to scare her. But she knew she'd been in love with Kenzie the day the girl said yes to being her girlfriend.

"I know I'm in love with you." Kenzie repeated.

y/n looked down as they moved once more, Kenzie looking out at the scenery around as if frightened that if she looked up at y/n she would freak out and take all she had said back.

"I know I love you too Kenz." y/n promises her, pressing a kiss to the crown of her head.

"Really?" Kenzie asks, looking up with wide shocked eyes as they moved back toward the ground.

"Yeah, I've known since the cricket game." y/n says with a soft smile and Kenzie huffs and hits y/n.

"Why didn't you say?" She whines, y/n chuckling and kissing her cheek as she climbs from the seat and holds her hand out to Kenzie, the girl taking it as they thank the worker and walk away.

"I didn't want you to feel pressured, I wanted you to want to say it." y/n explains, she was maybe a little more clued up about relationships, this still being Kenzie's first true one.

"I was so worried about it." Kenzie whines y/n laughing as she looks at a shooting stall.

"Come on grump." y/n chuckles, dragging Kenzie with her to the stall and paying for three goes.

"What are you..." Kenzie begins before watching in shock as her girlfriend shoots three perfect pellets.

"Jesus!" The stall owner chuckles as y/n puts down the rifle, chuckling at him as he hands her the small teddy bear.

"Thank you." y/n smiles, taking Kenzie's hand and pulling her to a side bench, sitting her down and handing her the bear.

Kenzie had a tendency to over-think things, and while y/n found it endearing, she knew how dangerous it was, Kenzie would go quieter, her voice meeker.

"Hey, look at me superstar. Don't let that brain run off without me, yeah?" y/n asks Kenzie who gulps and nods. "I knew if I said it, you would have spiralled and thought you had to say it back." y/n says to her.

Kenzie grips the teddy, looking down at the fluffy brown bear with a soft smile, she runs her hand over one of the circular ears, before pulling the bear close to her chest and hugging it.

"I wanted you to say it when you were sure, and I would have happily have waited another eight months for you to say it." y/n promised.

Kenzie's eyes blinked away tears which were misting her vision as y/n sat next to her. Kenzie pushed up and pressed their lips tightly together, pouring her thanks into the kiss.

y/n's hand slid up to cup Kenzie's cheek, rubbing her thumb across the soft pink skin which was there, wiping away a stray tear which Kenzie let roll down her face.

They pulled away slightly breathless and lips stinging from the force of Kenzie pushing her lips so tightly to y/n's. y/n smiled softly, pressing a light kiss to Kenzie's head.

"I love you." Kenzie says, pushing her head into y/n's shoulder. "I love you so much." she repeats and y/n smiles into Kenzie's hair.

"I love you too Kenz. So much." She adds and Kenzie smiles into y/n's shoulder. "Back to mine?" y/n asks as she stands up, holding her hand out to Kenzie.

"Yeah, back home." Kenzie nods, a smile growing on y/n's face at the referral to her flat as home, but she doesn't mention it, just holds her girlfriend's hand a little tighter as they walk away from the noisy ground behind them.

(Follow up on ask) I want to try real hard to hike some part of the highlands, so anywhere up there really that I could get to by train.

And I’m also trying to go into Edinburgh to look around a bit! 🌿💚

(Also no pressure cause that is a big ask, just curious)

ah ok, highlands via train would be like west coast line up to fort william/mallaig, and tbh not super familiar with the areas (except for oban, which you can get a ferry to iona or mull etc from, which mull is vry nice. but check ferry things for that. also if you get off at luss or earlier at balloch you can get boat rides across loch lomond. loch lomond is so <3 i love going into the hills around there, haven't been to the arrochar alps tho which are on the side the train stations are on) Or you can get the train up from glasgow queen street in the inverness direction. i havent been to inverness but dunkeld & birnam on the way is very cute and has rly nice hikes from it (birnam hill!!, the hermitage!!, loch of the lowes). aviemore also has nice hikes going out from it (craigellachie nature reserve, plus steamtrain line up further north to abernethy forest type area maybe??? double check that). i'd stick to those lines rly for highland stuff. dont bother with aberdeen ive been told be so many people at this point (including from there) not to bother lol. its just boring. (unless youre using it to get on a ferry to orkney or shetland). .. hrmrmrmm for edinburgh. i am a bit of an edinburgh hater ,however the botanic gardens, the national gallery of scotland and lighthouse books are all nice. botanics are huge and nicely themed areas (and free except for the glasshouses which i've never been in) (but also out of th way of the city centre). national gallery has good stuff. lighthouse books is a queer-owned indie bookshop and has a rly nice selection of queer and political books but also various other local writers and things like that. its just rly nice. also Hadeel is palestinian gift shop items, so thats cool to go to i havent been tho. One world shop is also a nice fairtrade type shop. also i went to both holy cow cafe and lounge and the food was good . i will say tho that you absolutely can get into the highlands via edinburgh waverly but glasgow central + glasgow queen street have the west coast line + inverness route too, you'll need to go into glasgow for th west coast, in case you want to plan around that.

#its hard to do a tourist perspective bc i jus live here #but also if anyone is from edinburgh and knows cool things there then say in replies . bc i havent been there long enough #ever to know everything obvs. its not somewher ei go #and its too expensive to live in LOL #. but if u are in glasgow city centre for a while bc of trains. CCA and GOMA (for galleries) and ushi's for food #asks #also dont go to skye its too busy with tourists anyway and I would like to go so everyone else leave please

As someone who used to live in a town, here is what I have learned from attend a university in a city:

~On the subway, the unwritten rule is that you must wear headphones. Either that or you need to pretend to scroll on your phone (there is no signal down here so we all know your headphones are dead)

~There is a large, visible homeless population. If you’re feeling generous, the common advice is that you don’t give them money. Instead, offer them food or water. Remember though, they don’t need to say yes to this! All you can do is offer.

~Everyone asks about pronouns. Lecturers ask, teachers ask, classmates ask. Everyone.

~Everyone is queer. Genuinely, you will be surprised by the vast amount of queer people in the city. Anyone can express their gender or sexuality in whichever way they want because nobody judges

~The fashion is unreal. Gothic, alternative, kawaii, pyjamas, sporty, slutty. Anything goes. Nobody questions it too. They just appreciate the time and effort spent by the individual to make liberating looks

~There is a strong percentage of city goers who are academics. Most bookshops and cafes are full to the brim with students who are lost in books or study

~Young people rule the city. You will rarely see anyone over the age of 40. Even cafes are restaurants usually have young staff members running it.

~There are so many cultures. So many people of different backgrounds. So many cultural traditions and outfits. So many different religions and beliefs. So many different languages.

Anyway. Here’s my rare tumblr post.

On December 30th 1969 two police officers died of bullet wounds during a raid on a house in Allison Street, Glasgow; a third was wounded.

Police in Glasgow still remember the murder of two officers, when one of their ex colleagues was spotted with a suspicious package after robbing a bank in Linwood. The horrifying case was led by an ex police officer, who was in jail until 2002.

Shortly after 4pm two officers were shot dead by a man seen acting suspiciously outside a flat in Govanhill on the south side of the city. Their suspect had just taken part in an armed robbery and was carrying the proceeds into the Allison Street tenement in suitcases.

When the two cops followed their man into the ground floor apartment, unaware of the earlier hold-up, he pulled out a gun and shot them dead. The double murder was all the more shocking because it was carried out by a former police officer and colleagu

A few hours later Howard Wilson, married with a young family, was sitting in his police cell in nearby Craigie Street Police Office confessing both murders to his bewildered lawyer Joe Beltrami.

Nineteen years later in his memoir Tales of the Suspected, Beltrami wrote: “As I listened to him. I kept asking myself what could have possessed him.

“He looked more like a businessman than a criminal.”

Wilson had quit the City of Glasgow police in 1968 after 10 years’ service when he failed to get promotion to sergeant.

Instead he opened a greengrocers, The Orchard in nearby Mount Florida. But the outlet, along with another shop he’d bought, was losing money.

His two best friends former prison officer Ian Donaldson, 31, and ex-cop John Sim, 21, both had young families and were also strapped for cash. During one late evening drinking session they joked about robbing a bank to solve all their financial worries. However, the morning after the night before it began to sound like a plan.

Who would suspect two former cops and a prison officer? They had no criminal records and their fingerprints were not on file. The money would also be used to pay off debts so it would disappear as quickly as it had been stolen.

Thus the pieces of a jigsaw were put in place that would result in a cold blooded double execution almost six months later.

The trio recruited a fourth man – Archibald McGeachie – to be their getaway driver, and bought a Russian pistol from the president of the Bearsden Shooting Club, of which all three were members. On July 16, dressed in smart suits and carrying briefcases they walked into the British Linen Bank in Giffnock, East Renfrewshire, and escaped with £20,876 (£270,000 now).

All three, however, were broke again by Christmas and, having got away with it once, planned another heist – this time a branch of the Clydesdale in Linwood, Renfrewshire on December 30.

However, McGeachie took cold feet and declined the job of getaway driver, leaving his three pals to do the job on their own.

On December 23, a week before, the second hold up, he disappeared from his home and was never been seen again.

His fellow robbers escaped this time with £14,000 – much of it in silver coins – which later proved significant when they were all spotted by a suspicious Inspector Andrew Hyslop transporting the suitcases. He recognised Wilson who he had once trained in the use of firearms.

Inspector Hyslop also suspected the trio were carrying stolen whisky, as he didn’t know about the bank robbery. He confronted all three in Wilson’s ground floor flat, having called in reinforcements from Craigie Street.

When the inspector bent down to open one of the cases, his former colleague shot him in the face. Detective Constable Angus MacKenzie and PC Edward Barnett, were then both shot in the head when they tried to arrest him.

As they fell, Wilson calmly stepped up to DC MacKenzie and shot him again, killing him outright.

His accomplice Donaldson had fled the flat, while Sim watched in horror. Wilson turned his attention to another former colleague PC John Sellars, who had taken refuge in the bathroom to radio for help but he couldn’t get through the door. Wilson then noticed Inspector Hyslop beginning to move on the floor, and went to finish him off.

A fifth officer, Detective Constable John Campbell flung himself across the hall at Wilson before he could fire again, saving his colleagues’ life.

DC Campbell managed to wrestle the gun from Wilson just as his fellow officers alerted by the sound of gunfire rushed into the flat.

There they found a scene of unimaginable horror. DC MacKenzie had been killed outright while PC Barnett would die five days later in hospital.

Wilson only seemed to regret only what he had done to DC MacKenzie, whose wife June he knew personally. As he was led away, he asked the arresting officers if they would apologise to her on his behalf.

When the three appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court on February 6, 1970, Wilson admitted the murders of Detective Constable McKenzie and Constable Barnett, attempting to murder Inspector Hyslop, threatening to shoot Constable Sellars, and to the bank robberies at Giffnock and Linwood. A week later, at the High Court in Edinburgh, Wilson was sentenced to life, with a recommendation that he should serve a minimum of 25 years. Donaldson and Sim were given 12 years each for their parts in the robberies.

Later that year it was announced that the Queen had approved awards of the George Medal to Inspector Hyslop and Detective Constable Campbell. Awards of the Queen’s Police Medal for Gallantry were posthumously awarded to Detective Constable McKenzie and Constable Barnett. In 1971, PC Sellars was awarded the Glasgow Corporation medal for bravery by the Lord Provost.

Detective Constable McKenzie left a widow, June, and Constable Barnett a widow, Margaret, and two children.

Of the three officers who survived, Inspector Hyslop suffered most as bullet parts had been left deeply embedded in his neck. After many months on sick leave Inspector Hyslop returned to duty. But the shock of his terrible experience had left him unfit to carry on and in June, 1971, he had to resign from the force and died on the island of Islay in 2000, aged 74.

In December 2009, on the 40th anniversary of the murders, Alastair organised a memorial service at Linn Crematorium in Castlemilk where the two officers are buried side by side, attended by their widows.

In September 2002, Wilson was finally freed after almost 33 years behind bars despite strenuous objections from the Scottish Police Federation.

At the time its chairman Norman Flowers, said: “We feel that anyone who murders a police officer should never be released. Life should mean life.”
