Where to see murals of comedian Billy Connolly CBE in Glasgow

Problem
What can you see that's new and quick and makes a good photo?

Answer
A mural. The latest in Scotland, in Glasgow is three murals of comedian Billy Connolly CBE.
Where exactly?

1 Osborne Street, Glasgow, Scotland, UK.
2 Dixon Street (near Central station), Glasgow, Scotland, UK.
3 Gallowgale, Glasgow Scotland, UK.

Billy Connolly went to see them and loved them. The original artwork is on display at People's Palace Museum, from June 15th 2017. At the People's Palace you can also see the Banana Boots used in his stage act.

You can follow a mural trail around Glasgow. My favourite humorous mural is the taxi pulled by balloons.

Glasgow links the Edinburgh by train in less than an hour if you want to see both on one holiday or business trip.
