Four seasons at the University of Glasgow 🌸☀️🍂🌨️

Second year student Harry Ho captured the beauty of our campus over the course of his 730 days at UofG!

From spring blossoms, summer light, autumn leaves, to winter snow. Which is your favourite Glasgow season?

#TeamUofG
The top of the University of Glasgow tower with pink cherry blossoms surrounding it and a flock of birds flying past. Lots of groups of people sitting in Kelvingrove Park in the sunshine. The University tower is in the background and the sky is blue. An aerial view of the main building at the University of Glasgow, surrounded by Autumn leaves and trees that are turning orange and red. The University tower covered in a light blanket of snow. The sky is white and in the foreground is a bowling green covered in untouched snow.

Hello. Time to introduce myself, here I am with a piece of blue whale baleen from the University of Glasgow collections where I'm Curator of Zoology & Anatomy. The plate was donated by Salvesen & Co whaling company in 1925, making it 100 years old, which is exactly twice my age as today is my 50th!
