This Is My Glasgow<p>Love this Andy Capp mural on the First and Last on Maryhill Road in Glasgow. Opened in 1885, its name is derived from the fact it was the first bar reached when travelling towards Glasgow from Milngavie, and the last one before Milngavie when travelling the other way (since the intervening burgh of Bearsden traditionally lacked any pubs).</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/glasgowpubs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowpubs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/andycapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>andycapp</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/pub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pub</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/maryhill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maryhill</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Dusk at the Collina Street High Flats in the north of Glasgow. This 19 storey tower block was built in 1968 by Gilbert-Ash Scotland using the Tracoba technique based on prefabricated concrete panels. It's now probably better known as the fictitious Osprey Heights, home to Still Game's Jack and Victor.</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/stillgame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stillgame</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/maryhill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maryhill</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/nightphotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nightphotography</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Maryhill Public Library in Glasgow. Built in 1903, it was one of the first wave of libraries built in the city using funds provided by Andrew Carnegie, and isbobe of seveb designed by James R. Rhind. While Carnegie libraries elsewhere in the UK were primarily brick-built, those in Scotland, like this one in Maryhill, were mostly built from stone. </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/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/library" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>library</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/carnegielibraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>carnegielibraries</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/maryhill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maryhill</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/maryhilllibrary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maryhilllibrary</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecturephotography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/andrewcarnegie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>andrewcarnegie</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>The Springbank Cottage between Garscube Road and the Forth and Clyde Canal in Glasgow. There has been a pub in this site since the 1870s. When it was known as the Planet Bar in the 1960s, it was part of a row of traditional Glasgow buildings and formed the ground floor of a three-storey structure. It now stands alone and decaying, a shadow of its former self and the last survivor of its block.</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/oldpub" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oldpub</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/arcitecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>arcitecture</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/maryhill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maryhill</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/forthandclydecanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forthandclydecanal</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>The canal sits on a slope above most of the city, and if it were to be hit by a bomb and the bank breached, some 17 miles worth of water (the distance between adjacent locks at this point) would have caused devastation as it cascaded down onto the city below. As a result, a number of these water-tight safety gates were installed which could be closed, if needed, to prevent this happening.</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/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/wwii" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wwii</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/forthandclydecanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forthandclydecanal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/stockingfieldjunction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>stockingfieldjunction</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/maryhill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maryhill</span></a></p>

This Is My Glasgow<p>The Maryhill Panther. Painted on an exposed gable end by the Artpistol Projects and Rogue One in the early 2010s, this mural has become a well-loved landmark on Maryhill Road in Glasgow. However, it's sadly starting to disappear away as the harling it's painted on is beginning to flake off the wall.</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/panther" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>panther</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/maryhill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maryhill</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/glasgowstreetart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowstreetart</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>The former City Bakeries building on Clarendon Street in the north of Glasgow. Originally designed by J.M. Biggar and built in the 1920s, it was reconstructed and extended in the 1930s by W.J.B. Wright. In the 1990s, it was converted to residential accommodation.</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/maryhill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maryhill</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></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>I'm not too sure when these modern flats on Shakespeare Street in the Maryhill area of Glasgow were built, but the sweeping curve of their facade always remind me of a modern version of the 1880s Thomsonesque Salisbury Quadrant in Pollokshields.</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/maryhill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maryhill</span></a></p>
