A carving of a sailing ship from the former Seamen's Mission on the Broomielaw in Glasgow, now on display in the window of the new building standing on the same site. While it's good that this has been preserved, it's positioned in such a way that it's virtually impossible to see it properly.

Dear neighbours, yes I have a cardboard box over my head sitting on the verandah. I'm fine.

Am a bit shattered, but before I collapse for the evening I thought I'd share this, as Glasgow's cone performance was very much on point today 😆

(far better than my photo, but it was extraordinarily busy, so a bit of a challenge)

Vertical photo of the statue of the Duke of Wellington on a horse that stands outside the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow. The view is side on. It is customary for there to be a traffic cone on the duke's head, but today there are 4 stacked up, and his horse, which appears to have been turned into a unicorn with a sparkly horn, also wears cones (yellow and silver). At the foot of the statue is a temporary Scottie dog sculpture, also in profile, also wearing a cone on its head.

The new(ish) mural of St Enoch (the mother of St Mungo) in her later years on a gable of the Bell o' the Brae tenements on High Street in Glasgow. Created by the street artist Smug in May 2026, it replaced a previous mural of a younger St Enoch cradling an infant St Mungo which was lost due to repairs on the render on the gable end.

That's me all set up for today's stall at the Wilson Street Makers' Market here in Glasgow. I'll be here until 6pm today and tomorrow as part of the Merchant City Festival, so if you're in town today, drop by and say hi.

Lion rampant on the gates of Glasgow University. I particularly like the gold-flecked mane on this sculpture. This is one a pair, with the other on the opposite pillar being a unicorn (which I posted a couple of days ago).

Dumbarton Rock in the upper Firth of Clyde. This 330 million year old volcanic plug west of Glasgow is home to Dumbarton Castle. It's been a military stronghold for many centuries and has a history going back as far as the neolithic period.
