Visited today, and it is a splendid exhibition.

Wee painted glass Trades House crest with the bird, tree, bell and fish of the Glasgow CoA and Trades House motto, Union is Strength

The wee painted Trades House panel in context of the rest of a glass panel featuring all the Trades represented in the Trades House

Honestly, once you start seeing the #Glasgow coat of arms you'll see it everywhere - only clocked this one yesterday. It forms part of the Trades House crest and is inside @maryhillburghhalls.bsky.social, the location of our current show 🐦🌳🔔🐟

Thanks! Good to see you today. Thanks for coming along 👍🐦🌳🔔🐟

Photo of me and Jo in front of one of her artworks that features each of the symbols of the CoA on lovely bold bright colours

Delighted that Jo of @JoSunshineArt fame (on the other place) dropped by the #Glasgow coat of arms exhibition with a couple of her fab interpretations of the CoA. See them and about 200 other versions in @maryhillburghhalls.bsky.social until 27th May 🎨🐦🌳🔔🐟

That's us all systems go at the @maryhillburghhalls.bsky.social #Glasgow coat of arms exhibition! 🎉🐦🌳🔔🐟
I'll be here all day if anyone wants me to talk them through the exhibition boards though the photos do speak for themselves. Looking forward to seeing some of you!

A taste of Tom Allan's lovely carved wooden sculpture that's a permanent feature in @maryhillburghhalls.bsky.social. It complements the #Glasgow coat of arms exhibition of over 200 images and items that starts there tomorrow! #Maryhill #heritage #GlasgowHeritage

My mother and her siblings each sponsored a brick when that was being built. They'd moved from Anderston to the Milton when there were only houses - no shops, churches or, at the start, pavements!

We’re so pleased to announce the next exhibition:

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.

Look! That's wur foties on show @maryhillburghhalls.bsky.social from Monday! Following the recent successful exhibition at The Deep End, I've added and refreshed a number of boards for this updated exhibition. Delighted & grateful to the Halls for this opportunity 🥰🐦🌳🔔🐟 #Maryhill #Glasgow #heritage

Yes it was! tho' I must say it's grown quite a bit since then!! 🐦🌳🔔🐟

The bird, tree, bell and fish have appeared in many different forms over time with additions, omissions and adaptations shaping the familiar symbols we still see across the city today.

Thanks very much for sharing this, @ncdominie.bsky.social 🐦🌳🔔🐟

Carved wooden panel with the Glasgow coat of arms (bell, bird, fish, tree), with St Kentigern on top and the rampant salmon either side.

A @glasgowcoa.bsky.social in Stranraer Museum. It's a detail from a chest which was carved by a WW1 Belgian refugee and presented to Stranraer by the Glasgow Corporation Belgian Committee in thanks for their kindness in accommodating and welcoming such refugees.

Lovely! Thank you! 🛳🐦🌳🔔🐟

Hah! It was the east facing clock face on that church that I couldn't see from down Albert Drive a bit that persuaded my auntie i needed glasses nearly 50 years ago. Thank you kindly, Mr Baldie! Who knows what might have become of me if it wasn't for his public service!

Thanks for this, @ncdominie.bsky.social. Glad we've got pics of it! As you say, ideally it'll get sorted and reinstalled 🫤🐦🌳🔔🐟

A Glasgow coat of arms variation that adorned the old Patthead Farm house has been removed

Anyone know what's happening with this from the old Patthead farm house in Queens Park?! 😲 🐦🌳🔔🐟 #LetGlasgowFlourish

Well spotted by @imperfectproduct.bsky.social! Can't help but think if Clyde the Thistle were to be resurrected for the 2026 Commonwealth Games, they'd put him behind a paywall like it seems the TV coverage will be!
The pic on the right is Clyde on the Clyde at Brimmielaw back in 2014 🙄🤨 🐦🌳🔔🐟

Ah. I thought the commentator was talking about the 'huge owns' Scotland were dishing out to the English 😋

A metal sculpture of a tree in a district all too lacking in trees, with a tall and moderately ugly office building behind. A traffic cone is perching in the branches, because of course it is.

The "Tree That Never Grew" on Bothwell Street, bearing the four emblems of the city: the bird, the bell, the fish, and the cone.

Glad you enjoyed it! The collection's grown a lot since the pre-pandemic shows and it's fab that folk have lent CoA items too. Onwards and upwards!! 🐦🌳🔔🐟 and, as you correctly add, 💍 👍

Great to get down to the Deep End today to catch the @glasgowcoa.bsky.social exhibition!
Lovely to see some old faves and some new (to me) ones! 👏❤️
