"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.

Written in 1922 he wryly speculates on traffic congestion 20 years hence in 1942. He doesn't like what he sees. Funny and presentient. #cycling #traffic #Glasgow #pedestrians #Scots

Actually it's the Maryhill, a working, scale version of the classic Clyde Puffer, many of which were built & launched near this spot in #Kirkintilloch
