Disney’s Got Nothing On Me

Route 1 West in the real Anniesland-
not a pair of mouse ears in sight

Not content with sharing my name with an ingenious piece of eco design, I have just discovered, via a plug by Redrow for their Route 1 West  development, that there exists in Glasgow a district proudly bearing my moniker.

Anniesland - originally the name my troubled mind chose for my first settlement in the computer game Civilization - is in fact a Scottish reality, complete with real shops, real people and real homes.

I doubt, however, that it is ruled over by Queen Annie O’ The Ever-Knowing, who resides in a turreted castle and charges her devoted subjects 70 per cent in tax (look, it’s the quickest way to progress through the game…)

In fact, I know relatively little about the “real” place, other than it has a kickass name and features the aforementioned Redrow development.

If anyone wants to fill me in/ feed my narcissism/ deflate my ego, the comments box is ready and waiting…
