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.

How beautiful these are, but really astonishing they have survived.

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.

I love this street and the local community. They’ve all been so supportive since we opened and I really appreciate it. I’m proud of what we’ve added to the area and hope to still be here in years to come. 🙏
