Rather striking and wonderfully colourful modern stained glass windows in Saint Mary's Kirk, depicting the six days of creation. Here are days one to three.

"More steam, MacPhail, you blaggard!"
Monument celebrating the wonderful Clyde Puffer, as seen in Para Handy, by the canal marina at Kirkintilloch. Many were built & launched from this spot, one upon a time.

This original part of the Auld Aisle Cemetery , overgrown with a small forest around the centuries old tombstones now, also boasts a Resurrection Tower, where watch would be kept for body snatchers, illicitly dug up & sold to unscrupulous medical schools for dissection training.

This original part of the Auld Aisle Cemetery is mostly walled off from the much larger one, and overgrown with foliage and trees, old headstones between them, like a graveyard in a forest, some entirely swallowed by growth (you only realise you're walking on a tombstone from the feel, the grass giving way to hard stone, covered up)

During research for my 2018 book Noisesome Ghosts, which focuses on #ghosts and #poltergeists that have the ability to write or speak, I found an #uncanny concentration of these rare & communicative entities in #Glasgow. In my 2020 article in Paranormal Review (95) I make the case for Glasgow as being the ghost capital of #Scotland (if not the globe). The writing or speaking #entities there include: the crisis #apparition of Bounce (a dog) which appeared to its former mistress in Glasgow & spoke in a human voice (1908), the anniversary #phantom of George Ferguson which gave details of its own murder (1913), a #Glaswegian council estate #haunting where a #spirit made an accurate warning about a serious medical condition (1960s), the #Balornock poltergeist: where a bed tapped out the tune of ‘The Dead March’ (1974-1975), the case of John Adams: which included #poltergeist effects and #demonic possession (1970s, 1990s), the East End, Glasgow poltergeist: where electronic voice phenomena (#EVP) were recorded (1990s), the #ghost of airline Captain Robert D. Macleod that accompanied its own dead body through Glasgow airport & spoke to colleagues (1995), poltergeist phenomena at a twenty-first century building re-development which included responsive raps & an #entity screaming “GET OUT!” at a researcher & the #Kirkintilloch poltergeist where an entity terrorised a young family & traced letters in flour (2011-2012).

My friend was reading this random internet article about an apple pie judged the best in #Scotland.
It sounded like it was judged in a manner straight out of Agatha Raisin which added to the story.
Anyway, the winner is made at a bakery near us so we popped down the road and got one — and gotta say, damn fine apple pie.
Obviously I haven’t tasted every other apple pie in Scotland, but you could do worse than get to Peter’s Bakery in #Kirkintilloch and get yourself an apple pie.

Light trails; as dad was giving me a lift back to the station, we paused on a bridge for a quick night shot, looking down on the modern Initiative Road in Kirkintilloch. More shots on my Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/
