Heavy wear forming a lip on the side of a kerb on Balliol Lane in the Woodlands area of Glasgow. Such wear patterns are often put down to metal-rimmed cartwheels riding up onto the kerb while trying to manoeuvre down such narrow lanes. However, it's unclear whether such cartwheels would have been capable of wearing away solid stone.
I spotted this sign outside the Arlington Bar on Woodlands Road in Glasgow yesterday, and it made me laugh. Definitely one of those Only In Glasgow types of thing.
A red sandstone corner tenement in the late evening sun on West Princes Street in Glasgow.
Love this ghost sign painted on a wall beside the entrance to a tenement on West Princes Street in the Woodlands area of Glasgow. It's repeated again on the neighbouring close as well. They're right next to a former military drill hall, and I wonder if the warning is related to its presence. There is a certain irony to having a sign written on a wall which says that writing on walls is not allowed!

“Dunvegan Castle & Gardens is at the heart of the 41,000 acre MacLeod Estate on the Isle of Skye. Of this land area, 96% is subject to crofting and farm tenure. Just 4% of the estate is unencumbered, equating to 1,770 acres, which includes Totachocaire farm and the native woodlands around Dunvegan Castle..”
We often walk in these green mossy woods which are accessible from the Castle car park.
Woodlands Men by Sean Taylor. Erected in 1991 on the side of a modern block of flats on Ashley Street in the Woodlands area of Glasgow.
This is probably the best example I've come across of how to fill a tenement gap site with a sympathetically designed newer replacement. Built in the late 1980s, it's on the corner of Woodlands Road and West End Park Street.
This beautiful little cat on the ledge at the bottom of this image is one of a pair created by Hugh Pritchard in 1988 to decorate a modern tenement on Woodlands Road in Glasgow. I really wish more developers would include such whimsical details in their projects.
