I got my "good boys" worms embroidered on one of my old sweatshirts and I am so excited to be wearing my own art!

Embroidery done locally by Glasgow studio Mack & Rose, their commitment to recycling old clothes is incredible.

This 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 will be incorporated in the affordable housing planned for the site.

When we lose old building, we lose not just the walls and the roof, but also all the other little design details which makes each building unique, like these sculpted signs, and once they're gone, they are lost forever as they're often left undocumented.

EXCLUSIVE: #Labour warned library cuts on Scotland's largest local authority risked worsening the country's 'shameful attainment gap'.

Chris McCall Deputy Political Editor, 02 Aug 2025

Excerpt: "Glasgow Life, which manages the library service for the council, is proposing to take 16 librarians out of the city's education system. The plans would see the school service headed up by a principal librarian along with three area-based librarians, while an 'assistant' would be placed in high schools.

"An online petition against the cuts and shared among parents has since been signed more than 1,300 times.

"Joy McLean said she was concerned about how a decline in #LibraryServices would impact her daughter and other pupils. '#Librarians are essential #educators who foster a love of #reading, support research and #DigitalLiteracy, and help students thrive #academically and personally,' she added."

Prudence and Adventure on the1906 National Bank of Scotland on St Enoch Square in Glasgow. They were created by Phyllis Archibald, the only female sculptor I know of whose work adorns an Edwardian or Victorian building in the city.

Seen in Glasgow recently: A reminder of how people had arguments with random strangers they'd never met before the internet came along.

Love this new sign on the Clyde Walkway, but it definitely falls into the Keep Glasgow Weird category. It's one of a number of signs inspired by Science Fiction movies around the city's Science Centre created by A Sign of Humour.

Absolutely love this beautiful patterned Victorian tile from Partick Lesser Hall in the West End of Glasgow. The building was designed by William Leiper and was built in 1872.
