Wee Gym

Glenogle Pool

Bear with us. Here is another bit of Scottish terminology. I expect that once we have been here for a longer period of time we will have mastered the basics of Scottish terminology and will be less fascinated with sharing. But since we are not yet at that point, here we go.

Beth resumed her membership at the Glenogle Swim Centre, something she enjoyed during our pervious stay here. It is but a short walk from our flat. That center is one of many such facilities run by the City; it is the one with the most spectacular Victorian pool (as shown in the photo). The century old facility underwent a total renovation ten years ago; the original baths are now a swimming pool. And, they now have a small fitness area, which is properly referred to as a wee gym. "Wee" meaning extremely small; a gym that size suits Beth perfectly.

She goes to the wee gym to spend an hour on the elliptical and rowing machines and runs the pathways on the alternate days. The wee gym is usually uncrowded and sometimes empty; others are more likely to be in the pool.
