Let Glasgow Flourish: The Glasgow Coat of Arms
by Dr Caroline Scott
The history of the Glasgow Coat of Arms is the history of Glasgow itself. Inspired by the stories of St Mungo, our patron saint, the city’s emblem has evolved over the years.

Rev McMillan, white-haired, trim white beard, in dog collar, almost smiling - looking happier than the average Scottish minister.
The most interesting resident was the Rev Robert McMillan, son of an Irish weaver. He was instrumental in the revival of Strathbungo Church. Some of the congregation were so frustrated by the previous minister, ageing and infirm, that they founded a neighbouring parish, Queen’s Park.

A new house history – 6 Queen Square, Strathbungo. Home to two Reverends, a doctor, a manufacturer of dog-eared spikes (they sound a bit crap, but essential for railways apparently), then for 60 years a lawyer’s family.

"Langside" drawn by TCF Brotchie for his "The Battlefields of Scotland". Fileds in foreground, recreation ground with footballers in mid ground, Camphill and flagpole in distance.

Just discovered this delightful view of Queens Park from c 1913, with the flagpole in the centre background. Noise is shown coming from the bandstand to the right. The Victoria infirmary is visible to the left. The large house in the centre...

In the heart of Queens Park, Glasgow, the bones of medieval agriculture are still clear to the eye and easily felt underfoot. This month's essay weaves my discovery of old rig and furrow - and its legacy of collective care - with the realisation of my own garden's season of isolation. #naturewriting
