The lower weir beside the Riverside car park. This was added when Pollok House was built in the mid 1700s, probably just to create a more serene river view from the house, but it had the side benefit of providing a curling rink when the river froze over. (Thanks to Charlene for the clip)

Today's morning dog walk was in Pollok Park on the Southside of Glasgow, surrounded by beech trees looking stunning in their autumn colours.

One of the things I love about Autumn is the abundance of fungi of all shapes and sizes. I came across these delicate little ones on a fallen tree today while walking the dog in Pollok Country Park in Glasgow.
