Snapped this #Glasgow CoA on Clyde Street at the weekend - first time I've caught it on a sunny day! (Though tbh others have managed it before, not least @bigrabkenney.bsky.social!). It's a former Police barracks & 'Sally Ann' homeless hostel, now student accommodation ☀️🐦🌳🔔🐟

Temporary Glasgow#850 banners + yellow ad banners with a nod to the Glasgow's miles better campaign. Meanwhile on the wall of the Concert Hall, the enduring Glasgow logo - the coat of arms! 😉 🐦🌳🔔🐟

The People's History of Glasgow by John K. McDowall, 2nd Edition (1899) which, in its discussion of the Tolbooth, slides seamlessly from spikes for law-breaking heids to the tunes of the chimes! 😳🐦🌳🔔🐟

Thanks to @jonmolyneux.bsky.social for these pics of what is possibly the most northerly CoA in the city!
Jon says, "At Possil Marsh. Commemorates a meteorite strike that happened there in the 1800s. Remnants of which are now in the Hunterian." ☄️🐦🌳🔔🐟
