Hidden Glasgow street steeped in tobacco history now packed with trendy pubs and restaurants
Once a dim alley, the lane now buzzes with energy and is home to Glasgow's last surviving Virginia tobacco merchant's house Glasgow's reputation as one of the UK's trendiest cities is well deserved, with its bustling bars, diverse restaurants and vibrant shopping drawing crowds every day. While many visitors stick to familiar spots like Buchanan Street, Sauchiehall Street, the Southside or the iconic West End, there's a lesser-known gem just minutes from Central and Queen Street stations that has quietly transformed into a hotspot in its own right, Scottish Daily Express reports. Miller Street, once a dim back alley linking Argyle Street to Ingram Street, now rivals even Ashton Lane for its cool, lively vibe. Steeped in history, this narrow lane boasts the impressive Tobacco Merchant's House at number 42, the last remaining Virginia tobacco merchant's house in Glasgow, a nod to its past connected to the city's tobacco trade. Two decades ago, Miller Street was little more than a shortcut for those heading between Argyle Street and George Square. Today, it thrives with some of Glasgow's most sought-after eateries and bars, attracting locals and visitors alike. Starting at the northern end, sandwich lovers flock to Piece, a highly rated spot where cash isn't accepted, so don't forget your card. Nearby, Paesano has earned a stellar reputation with its wood-fired artisan pizzas served from an open kitchen to communal tables. The queues are testament to its popularity. One Google reviewer captured the sentiment perfectly: 'No words describe the quality of the pizza! They have amazing principles! Definitely competes original Italian places within Italy!' For those craving meat, the Spanish Butcher offers a carnivore's delight with its Spanish-inspired menu. Praised for its 'relaxed with a chic ambiance,' it draws glowing reviews, including one visitor who declared: 'Food is outstanding, melts in the mouth and the best steak I've ever eaten.' American food fans can head to the retro Thundercat Pub and Diner, where US-style pub grub meets draught beer and cocktails. A firm favourite, one fan said: 'Always enjoy here. It's somewhere a bit different and the deep pan pizzas are just immense.' Latin American flavours feature at El Santo Bar and Restaurant, where Mexican, Brazilian and Peruvian dishes take centre stage. A recent diner summed up their visit: 'This place is simply amazing! Atmosphere 100%. Drinks choice 100%. Now we get to service and food! That is on another level.' Just down the lane, Margo offers a welcoming space with small sharing plates, great service and an atmosphere that impresses every time. One reviewer noted: 'WOW. Not often am I bowled away by service quality and atmosphere. Excellent value for money, incredible flavours, simple yet pack a punch.' Rounding off this impressive culinary stretch is The Spiritualist, a cocktail bar popular with Glasgow's fashionable crowd. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Although we didn't eat this time, the dishes we saw coming out looked amazing, we're already planning to come back just for the food!' For those seeking a more traditional vibe, Cairns Bar sits at the junction with Argyle Street. Known as a classic Glasgow pub, it has been praised for both its friendly atmosphere and quality food. One visitor shared: 'Ran into this bar while walking around Glasgow. It's off a side street, but still able to hear all the hustle and bustle of the busy street close by. The bartenders were welcoming and friendly and had a wide selection of drinks. I sat outside on their big patio to enjoy the weather. If you're in Glasgow, check out this bar!' Conveniently located, Miller Street is just a 10-minute walk from both Glasgow Queen Street and Glasgow Central stations, with Argyle Street station mere metres away, making it easy to explore this hotspot in the heart of the city.

Family-run Aberfeldy cafe reopens after major refurbishment
A family-run cafe in Aberfeldy has reopened after a major refurbishment. Piece sandwich and cake shop in Bridgend has had a three-month revamp. Zoe and George Dark, 40, set up the business in 2020 as a takeaway. They have now added a 12-person seating area and new toilets. Zoe, 56, told The Courier the whole family helped with the refurbishment. She said: 'We stripped out our old shop and re-did it. 'We're a completely family-run business and we have Mariia, who lives with us. 'She's a Ukrainian refugee. 'Mariia and her two little boys have been with us for three years, and she works in the shop too, as well as my son Oscar. 'Our sons Monte and Fynn also work here during their university and college holidays. 'At the end of January we closed and Mariia, George, and Oscar did all the work themselves! 'I did all the design elements like re-covering chairs and making it a little bit quirky. 'We wanted to make it more family-friendly, so people can sit-in and we now have toilets. 'There are already a lot of cafes in Aberfeldy that offer a sit-in experience but the town is an incredibly busy place. 'We are right in the square and it seemed like we were missing a trick by not offering the option to sit-in.' Zoe said the menu at Piece will remain the same. The cafe sells sandwiches, ciabattas, focaccia, wraps, salads, breakfast menu and gluten-free homemade cakes. Zoe said they provide catering services for weddings, parties and outdoor events. This has prompted the firm's expansion in the past five years. Zoe added that Piece will apply for a licence next month to open for evening meals three nights a week. 'We will do charcuterie boards and some lovely wine selections from a friend of mine who has two wine bars in Aberdeen. 'We plan to do tapas nights as well. 'We are really grateful to all our customers who come in because we wouldn't be able to do this without them.' Elsewhere in Highland Perthshire, 30 homes could be built on the site of an old primary school in Crieff.

One Piece Episode 1129 Preview: Kuma's Heartbreaking Backstory Unfolds
One Piece is about to air its most tragic backstory yet: Kuma's story begins in episode 1129. Image Source: Toei Animation Kuma's tragic past will break your hearts One Piece is on a break this week, but when it returns, fans will witness one of the most heartbreaking stories in One Piece's history.

So if you're an anime-only watcher, feel free to read it Piece is known for many things – world building, comedy, character designs, etc. But one thing the show does that takes the viewer's experience to the next level is giving characters emotional backstory. And it's not just the Strawhats that get these detailed, heartbreaking stories – even small side characters like Senor Pink and Chouchou have incredible lore behind from this episode, the most emotionally impactful flashback for any One Piece character is about to begin. And that's saying something. For years now, all we know about Kuma is that he is a Warlord for the World Government, and he has some connection to the revolutionary army. We all knew that someday we'll get to see his backstory and now the time is here. Recently, manga readers discovered the real story behind Kuma. And it is deeply story is not only important for the plot — it also shows the deeper message of the series: the fight for freedom, no matter how painful the path. With stunning anime production from Toei and a buildup of emotional scenes already hinted at in Episode 1128, Kuma's flashback is about to hit with full force. If the anime handles it well (and so far it's cooking), this could be the most memorable and emotional part of the Egghead Arc.
