This Is My Glasgow<p>This is the Alexander Hamilton Memorial Park Bandstand in Stonehouse in Lanarkshire. Why am I posting a photo of it here? That's because it started life as one of two bandstands erected in Kelvingrove Park for the 1911 Glasgow International Exhibition. As far as I can work out, it was sited near the banks of the River Kelvin pretty close to the location of the current bandstand. </p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/kelvingrovepark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kelvingrovepark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/bandstand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bandstand</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowinternationalexhibition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowinternationalexhibition</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Kelvingrove Bandstand and Amphitheatre. Built in 1924 by the Glasgow Public Parks Department, it's one of the earliest examples of a post-WWI public bandstands to break from the pre-war tradition of octagonal ones.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/bandstand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bandstand</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/kelvingrove" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kelvingrove</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/kelvingrovepark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kelvingrovepark</span></a></p>

LordWoolamaloo<p>The handsome bandstand in Saughton Park walled gardens was birthed in the Lion Foundry, not far from where I grew up, and where some older relatives had worked. </p><p>Delighted to see it restored & looking beautiful to all who promenade there, a tribute to the men who sweated out the work of a now long-gone foundry & were rightly proud of their hard work.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Edinburgh" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edinburgh</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Edimbourg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Edimbourg</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/photographie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photographie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/bandstand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bandstand</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/SaughtonParkGardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SaughtonParkGardens</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/parc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>parc</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/park" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>park</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ironwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ironwork</span></a></p>
