We are the Glasgow Penguins. We moved into an old wall on the Kelvin Walkway in March 2023. Every now and then, we come out and if you're lucky, you'll see us!

Today's the medal ceremony for the mini Winter Olympics we've been doing this week, and I won Gold! Mum got silver and Dad got bronze. He wasn't happy! #glasgow #penguins #winterolympics #streetart #kelvinwalkway

The last winter olympic sport we're having a go at this week is ice dancing - now this is one which penguins are born to do! #glasgow #penguins #icedancing #winterolympics #kelvinwalkway

Continuing our attempts at winter sports, this is Dad trying out the half-pipe on a snowboard - he was about as good on it as he is on a skateboard! 🤣🤣🤣 #glasgow #glasgowpenguins #snowboarding #winterolympics #kelvinwalkway

Today's winter Olympic sport that we're trying out is cross-country skiing. Only another 49 kilometres to go - maybe we should have started with a shorter distance! #glasgow #penguins #crosscountryskiing #kelvinwalkway #winterolympics

Inspired by current events in Milano-Cortina, we've decided to hold our own mini-Winter Olympics here in our wall on the banks of the River Kelvin in Glasgow. First up is curling! #glasgow #kelvinway #winterolympics #curling #penguins

Happy New Year! This was us celebrating the bells. As usual Dad fell asleep and missed it! Our New Year's Resolution is to spend more time being outside and doing things in our wall, and elsewhere around Glasgow! #glasgow #kelvinwalkway #penguins #glasgowpenguins #happynewyear

It took us a little longer than most to complete today's Off The Beatson Track fund-raising walk, not just because of our little legs, but also because we kept on having to stop for Dad to catch up with me and Mum! #glasgow #glasgowpenguins #offthebeatsontrack #penguin #streetart #kelvinwalkway

The Off The Beatson Track fund raising event is passing our wall today, and as always, we'll be out supporting everyone who's taking part! If that's you, make sure you say hi as you pass us! We're on the Kelvin Walkway just beyond the Botanic Gardens. #glasgow #beatsoncharity #penguins

We've been away for a very long time, but we're finally back. We've missed Glasgow a lot, especially our favourite hill to skateboard down! #glasgow #penguins #kelvinwalkway #glasgowpenguins #skateboarding #streetart

Happy Easter everyone! Dad's dressed up as the Easter Bunny this year to hand out eggs to all the little ones in our colony. I love chocolate eggs, especially the mackerel-flavoured ones! #glasgow #streetart #happyeaster #eastereggs #penguin #glasgowpenguins #kelvinwalkway #glasgowstreetart

Today we went to SpongeBob's house! Okay, it's not really SpongeBob's house, but it is a house shaped like a giant pineapple. How cool is that! #penguin #pineapple #SpongeBobSquarepants #glasgowpenguins #streetart #glasgowstreetart

I'm studying the Romans in Scotland at school, so today we dressed up as Roman soldiers and took a trip to the remains of the Antonine Wall where we met Silvanus! #glasgow #antoninewall #glasgowpenguins #thepenguinsinthewall #streetart #croy #romanbritain

Today, Mum decided she needes to feel some snow under her her flippers, so she climbed Ben Vorlich. It wasn't easy, but she made it all the way to the top! #glasgow #benvorlich #penguin #glasgowpenguins #streetart #glasgowstreetart #hillwalkingscotland @walkhighlands.co.uk

After school today, we went to Tatooine to see BB-8! Not really, but we did go to the Riverside Museum in Glasgow which has a Star Wars exhibition on at the moment. It was great! #glasgow #riversidemuseum #penguins #penguin #streetart #starwars #bb8 #glasgowpenguins #glasgowstreetart

We've got some visitors! I think they might have come in to shelter from the storm. They're more than welcome to stay as long as they want, and we'll make sure they're well looked after - we're always happy to share our mackerel with those in need. #glasgow #glasgowwelcome #penguins

Mum decided to take a leaf out of the Australian Christmas handbook today and do a bit of holiday surfing. Dad says she's crazy as Scotland's a lot colder than Australia right now! #glasgow #penguin #glasgowpenguin #christmas #surfing #streetart #glasgowstreetart #kelvinwalkway

We've been making snow penguins - given the weather in Glasgow at the moment, I really don't know where Dad got the snow from. Mum says it's probably best not to ask! #glasgow #snow #snowpenguins #penguin #streetart #glasgowstreetart #kelvinwalkway #xmas #xmas2024

Some of our penguin neighbours in the wall in Glasgow heard about this thing called Buckfast that people in Glasgow like. They ended up getting very drunk, and the next day they promised they'd never drink it again! #glasgow #drunkpenguins #buckfast #penguins #streetart

These are some of our neighbours in the wall by the old flint mill beside the River Kelvin. They moved in just after we did. They may look a bit different, but they are very nice. #glasgow #punkpenguins #penguins #ilovepengiuns #glasgowpenguins #penguinsmakeglasgow

The wall we moved into is beside a nice river called the Kelvin that runs through the west end of Glasgow and there's the remains of an old flint mill just in front of it. This is the hole in the wall we moved in to. #glasgow #glasgowpenguins #thepenguinsinthewall #penguins

This is my family and me on the day that we moved to Glasgow. I'm the one with the blue backpack. We found a nice old wall with lots of nooks and crannies where we could live along with the other penguins from our colony. #glasgow #glasgowpenguins #thepenguinsinthewall

We are The Penguins in the Wall. We had to leave our home in Antarctica because it was getting too warm. We decided to move to Glasgow because we heard it was soooo cool! #penguins #glasgowpenguins #thepenguinsinthewall #glasgow #penguinsmakeglasgow #climaterefugees
