St Charles, North Kelvinside, Glasgow. Designed by Gillespie, Kidd & Coia, 1959-60. Contains sculptures by Benno Schotz. The separate concrete tower acts as the squire. All in stark contrast to the red sandstone presbytery. #glasgow #gillespiekiddandcoia #gillespiekiddcoia #northkelvinside

They weren’t actually connected to the trailer. There were Christmas lights for a couple of years but not for a good 3-4 years. So GCC put the lights up. Wires all over the place. They need removed asap. And they could actually still be live! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Yes! The very ones. I’ve sent you a message. Thank you! ⚡️🌳
I reported the electrical wires choking these trees exactly a year ago to GCC.Zero been done. The cambium layers of these 18 trees are being damaged & could result in decline or death of the trees.Plus are the wires live? ⚡️Please sort asap @anthonycarroll.bsky.social @glasgowcitycouncil.bsky.social

It’s very sad that John’s Bar, Tobago Street, Calton is now in this state of disrepair. So many people have amazing memories of the place. Should auld acquaintance be forgot.😭🍺🥃#calton #thecalton #thecaltonglasgow #caltonglasgow #glasgow #glasgowpubs #johnsbar #glasgowheritage
Corner of Merchant Lane and Bridgegate.
So we have someone on Twitter who has just guessed it correctly! It’s a hard one because the window detail is probably always overlooked due to the scale of the building. Think former fish market. 🐠🐡🐟
