A statue of Liberty overlooking Queen's Park on the Southside of Glasgow from the top of W.M. Whyte's 1885 French Renaissance style tenement. This makes it marginally older than it's US equivalent, which was only dedicated in the following year. Cont./ #glasgow #sculpture #tenement #architecture

Glasgow is currently plagued by this. Everywhere, eejits are scribbling their half-formed "tags" over our treasures, new & old. Most recent being the new Coat of Arms mural in Mitchell Ln - already defaced, or the recently renovated Glasgow Central bridge restored to its CR colours. Give it a rest

I'm not religious, but I had often passed by Gillespie Kidd Coia's Grade 1 listed St Brides chapel in EK & thought it was intriguing. I did visit last week, unfortunately for a funeral service, but was really impressed by the modernist design & interior. It is a masterpiece. Note: pic not mine.
How beautiful these are, but really astonishing they have survived.

Would love to hear views of @fakehistoryhunter.net on the TV show, "Mayfair Witches", & the ridiculous Scottish accents & 17th century clothing (mainly mud coloured rags) and set design, also mud coloured & generic IMO, there's no research been done to even remotely recreate how Scots lived then.
