Great weather yesterday for the Berrisdale Allotments Annual Open Day -- and amazing sights and smells! Beautiful blooms, and delicious looking vegetables whose size suggested genetic modification (spoiler: they weren't!). An excellent afternoon. Read about the Allotments here: berridale.org.uk/

This churches graveyard contains the tomb of the Polmadie Martyrs, shot in 1685 for supporting the Covenanters, as well as monuments designed by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson and possibly Robert Adam.

The tower of Old Cathcart Pariah Church in Glasgow.

Designed by James Dempster in Modern Gothic style and built in 1831, this church replaced an earlier building constructed in 1707. Most of the church was demolished in 1931, but the west front with its distinctive tower remain standing.

Love the shape of this window in the former New Cathcart Church in Glasgow. It was designed by John Bennie Wilson and was built in 1907.

The simple, but elegant, pencil tower of Cathcart New Church in Glasgow. Designed by John Bennie Wilson and built in 1907, this is a stunning and unique little building was turned into residential housing in 2006.

The Green Man, a mythological figure who is a symbol of rebirth and spring, over a tenement doorway on Spean Street in Cathcart, Glasgow.

While not common, similar representations of The Green Man can be found on other Glasgow buildings.
