The Sighthill Stone Circle in Glasgow.

Created by Duncan Lunan in the 1970s on the site of a former chemical factory, this is thought to be the first astronomically-aligned stone circle created in over three thousand years. It was moved to a new site in the late 2010s, but it was correctly re-aligned when it was re-built.

This carving from the entrance of the former Strathbungo Parish Church in Glasgow is of ... erm ... well I'm really not too sure what it's of, but it's certainly interesting!

Whenever I pass this memorial on the Kelvin Walkway, I always stop to pay my respects as my Great Uncle was one of those drafted in by the council to help deal with the aftermath of the explosion.

He was always very proud of the role he played on that day, but sadly his teeth never fully recovered!
