A wee throwback to the days of Strathclyde Transport on Eastwoodmains Rd. The official name of that colour is "Strathclyde Red" 🤔

Ghost signage of a sort, at the corner of Ledard and Cathkin Roads in Langside. Achray Terrace is the name of the row of houses on Cathkin Rd, but Fairies Knowe hints at more ancient origins. Perhaps from Gaelic "faire" meaning "watch" or "outlook", with "knowe" meaning "hill".

Glasgow Cathedral photographed in the mid 19th century while the roof was being reconstructed. This image was reproduced from a glass plate negative, which explains the smudging around the edges. 📷 Glasgow City Archives

Look at the incredible leaded glass on the Whitehall restaurant at 61 Renfield St, photographed here in 1931 😍 Today it's still serving up food and drink to hungry punters as the Maltman, a Belhaven pub. 📷 Glasgow City Archives #Glasgow

The fanous Rogano restaurant and seafood bar at 11 Exchange Place, photographed in 1936. It's been closed since the pandemic and the owners are currently embroiled in a legal battle with their landlords in a bid to reopen. 📷 Glasgow City Archives #glasgow

They're becoming rarer, but you can still spot them in the wild. A cast iron Glasgow Corporation Electricity Department junction box on Ledard Rd 😍

Round the corner from Battlefield Rd is Battlefield Gardens. This quirky gated close entrance caught my eye when wandering through there the other day 😍 📷 Past Glasgow #Glasgow
