Reposting this in the hope someone can help. So far I've had no luck, and even Celtic Football Club have ignored my emails. I'm getting a little cross-eyed looking at the grainy images available, and I'm beginning to think it might be 29 and 88 set within a shamrock?

AGT's GCF church, looking worse for wear these days, evidenced by this rear elevation view. Sandstone crumbling & foliage bursting out in all areas, and of course surrounded & dwarfed by glass boxes. @thisismyglasgow.bsky.social @pastglasgow.co.uk @lostglasgow.bsky.social @oakroyd.bsky.social

A statue of Liberty overlooking Queen's Park on the Southside of Glasgow from the top of W.M. Whyte's 1885 French Renaissance style tenement. This makes it marginally older than it's US equivalent, which was only dedicated in the following year. Cont./ #glasgow #sculpture #tenement #architecture

If your ever in Cathcart, do visit our local creative outlet @weare1of100.bsky.social on Old Castle Road. It's an absolute gem of a store, and I defy you not to covet their clothes, records, books and other items. There's always a welcome.

Glasgow is currently plagued by this. Everywhere, eejits are scribbling their half-formed "tags" over our treasures, new & old. Most recent being the new Coat of Arms mural in Mitchell Ln - already defaced, or the recently renovated Glasgow Central bridge restored to its CR colours. Give it a rest

I'm not religious, but I had often passed by Gillespie Kidd Coia's Grade 1 listed St Brides chapel in EK & thought it was intriguing. I did visit last week, unfortunately for a funeral service, but was really impressed by the modernist design & interior. It is a masterpiece. Note: pic not mine.

Would love to hear views of @fakehistoryhunter.net on the TV show, "Mayfair Witches", & the ridiculous Scottish accents & 17th century clothing (mainly mud coloured rags) and set design, also mud coloured & generic IMO, there's no research been done to even remotely recreate how Scots lived then.

Fabulous to see the artists at work creating the new mural in the entrance to Cathcart station. Local motifs & references galore including our local kingfishers who dart about the river, but also Holmwood House and of course the David Lyndsay tenement at Snuff Mill Bridge.
