The font used on the gateposts of the former Haghill Public School in the East End of Glasgow is just superb. Designed by A. Lindsay Miller and built in 1904, the school was demolished in 2022, but it's hoped some of the original features, including the gateposts, will be incorporated in the affordable housing planned for the site.

A mounted print of this photo is now available on my online shop at https://www.thisismyglasgow.com/product/haghill-public-school-ghost-sign-print-mounted-size-10-inch-by-12-inch/

Hello, do I know, or can I reach, someone with a room to rent in Glasgow, UK from Apr to July?

I know off someone who's coming for an apprenticeship in art/fashion and who'd rather be hosted by a local if possible.

Boosts welcome and any hints appreciated too.

What looks like part of a wall of carefully shaped and fitted stones at Duncarnock Fort on the southern edge of Glasgow (with a spaniel added to the lower photograph for scale). Built on the remains of an extinct volcano, this late bronze age/iron age hillfort is thought to have been occupied between 1200 BC and AD 400 (and possibly as late as AD 700).

Seeing this sign close to the Kingston Bridge in Glasgow today amused me much more than it really should - now, if I can just find some unsuspecting person to stand beside it! 😀

For those who don't know, it's a sign for an international construction company, but in Scotland a bam is catch-all term for any type of nutter, but usually of below average intelligence.

A nice example of Victorian threshold mosaic and branding at the entrance to the former Cooper and Co grocery store on Great Western Road in the Kelvinbridge area of Glasgow. It's now home to a bar called Coopers, although it's been known by a number other names over the years.
