Exciting things happening soon in Glasgow.
I don't follow #sport much, so I was confused about why #STV #news had a photo of two footballers outside the clubhouse of the West of #Scotland #Cricket Club, a place I passed every day as a student at #Glasgow #University. Turns out that it's the 150th anniversary of the first ever international #football match, which was played there.

(For folk less obsessive about #Glasgow history than I am, that's two remnants for the price of one: the Finnieston chain ferry in the foreground, and the Scottish Cooperative Wholesale Society HQ in the background.)
Lots of interesting clouds first thing this morning over the west end of Glasgow.

A sunset shot looking west from Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow taken a few days ago. The building is Glasgow University, while the statue is part of the Lord Roberts Monument.

The cart entrance to the old Crown Mill on Washington Street in the Anderston Area of Glasgow. This Italianate building was constructed in 1862, but all that is now left is the boarded up ground floor. However, you can still see traces of the compaby's name as a gost sign above the door.

The Burrell Collection in Glasgow's Pollok Park. It reopened in March 2022 after a six-year refurbishment and the end result is amazing. It houses some 8,000 works of art gifted by Sir William Burrell to Glasgow City Council in 1944. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glasgow/burrellcollection/index.html

The Forth and Clyde Canal in the north of Glasgow. Designed by John Smeaton and constructed between 1768 and 1790, it allowed goods and ships to move from the North Sea to the North Atlantic without having the pass through the treacherous waters along the North of Scotland. It was the world's first man-made sea-to-sea canal, making it the forerunner of canals like the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal.

A lovely little set of Glasgow tenement tiles with an autumn feel to them. They're from a close in Hyndland.
