This Is My Glasgow<p>Love this mural on Govan Road in Glasgow. Created by the street artist Smug and painted in 2022, it was inspired by Govan-born Peter Barr. In the late 1800s, Barr was responsible for bringing daffodils back into fashion, earning him the nickname of the Daffodil King, and bringing a much needed splash of colour to our parks, gardens and streets every Spring ever since.</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/streetart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>streetart</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/mural" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mural</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowmurals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowmurals</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/daffodils" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>daffodils</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/govan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>govan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowstreetart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowstreetart</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/springflowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>springflowers</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spring</span></a></p>

This Is My Glasgow<p>Early morning on the Pointy Bridge in Glasgow, taken just before the current bout of driech weather rolled in on Tuesday, bringing with it what seems like endless smirr and mizzle, and like an unwanted house guest, it seems to be refusing to take the hint and leave any time soon.</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/glasgowweather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowweather</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/riversidemuseum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>riversidemuseum</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/pointybridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pointybridge</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/govan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>govan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/partick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>partick</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/bridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bridge</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbridges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbridges</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/nightphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nightphotography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowatnight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowatnight</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowtoday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowtoday</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Love the little crocodiles in the canopy of the Govan Cross Fountain in Glasgow. Made at the Denny Iron Works in 1884 by Cruikshanks and Company, it's dedicated to John Aitkin, the first medical officer of health for the Burgh of Govan. This drinking fountain is not unique in having crocodiles in its canopy, and identical crocs can be found in at least two other Glasgow drinking fountains.</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/ironwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ironwork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/crocodile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crocodile</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/metalwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>metalwork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/drinkingfountain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>drinkingfountain</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/govan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>govan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/govancross" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>govancross</span></a></p>

Bob Downie<p>I went down to have a look at the new <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/cycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cycle</span></a> - <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/pedestrian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pedestrian</span></a> Govan-Partick Bridge in <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Glasgow</span></a>. To say I am blown away is an understatement. The bridge is wide and invites people to cross from the Riverside Museum to a newly created/modernised civic space in <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Govan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Govan</span></a>. People were so excited about it that complete strangers were stopping to chat with me. I think this is one of the best infrastructure projects I've seen in my lifetime in Glasgow. A few pictures.</p>

Memento Mori, or Reminders of Death, on a gravestone in the graveyard of the Govan Old Parish Church in Glasgow. Particularly common on 18th Century Scottish gravestones, these were symbols such as skulls, crossbones, hour glasses, trumpets, skeletons and spades, associated with death. They are generally found on the reverse of the gravestove, with the main inscription on the other side.
