I think it has the potential to be nice in colder weather. I went to krakow a few years ago in January and most places still had their outdoor seating in full swing. I had an awkward amount of time to fill before a tour so I sat for a while outside a cafe with a coffee and a book. I was underneath a massive umbrella and a patio heater and I was wearing warm clothes so I was almost too warm in spite of the fact that the streets were still icy. The sound of the rain against the umbrella and the cobbles was just perfect. I’ve always thought something like that could work brilliantly in Glasgow. Imagine if there was a fire pit in the middle of the tables or a personal heater for each table? Maybe even some nice lighting for the dark evenings? I think some kind of set up like that could really help to brighten up the city in the winter and I personally could see myself really appreciating heated outdoor spaces. |
