'Bri, but on tour' was very keen on oor coos! #KeepPollokParkBeautiful #PollokPark
Three shaggy, brown highland cows at the hay, all with magnificent horns. One staring at the camera while chewing, another with its head in the hay.

For more info see the July update from Glasgow City Council. www.glasgow.gov.uk/media/25185/... #PollokPark #KeepPollokParkBeautiful #PollokHouseStables #FoPCP
Members of our committee recently had a tour to inspect ‘work in progress’ at the Stables project. While there is still a lot of work to be done, it was great to see ‘first hand’ how the project is progressing, and the huge amount of restoration work which has been completed. Timeline for completion of the first phase is estimated to be summer 2027.

Why not bowl on over to Pollokshaws to give it a try. The entrance is on the other side of Pollokshaws West railway station from the main Pollok Park entrance, nearly at the bottom of Pollokshaws Road. #PollokPark #PollokshawsBC

Since it is Mooday, let's celebrate with a cutesy photo of a baby coo resting in the shade, I can't remember what you call it, but yes we do occasionally see that bright yellow thing in the sky in the west of Scotland. Thanks to Rachel Elizabeth for the image! #KeepPollokParkBeautiful #HighlandCows
