Going by the snow that's currently pelting down outside my window, we have entered "third winter".
That bit remains unpropped.
It’s that Scots Baronial style!
Scottish Renaissance with crowstep gables and a glorious hall inside with roof beams. Never been inside the chapel but it is #ArtsandCrafts. B Listed (LB32857). Now part of University of Glasgow and their major building project. If it was up to me I would have started with renovating these buildings
Very sad to see this part of the former Western Infirmary being held up by shipping containers. Is this an emergency fix? The road was closed on Monday due to a dangerous building.
62 Church Street, Glasgow, Western Infirmary Outpatients, Dispensary and Chapel, built c1913 by Sir John James Burnet.
#savetrongate103 Protest ongoing at GCC’s City Property at the hike in rents and forced signing of contracts for all the vital arts organisations. Why does Glasgow City Council not care about the arts which make this city great??

Sunshine ☀️ means that I can look up ⬆️ I have never noticed this pillar detail on what remains of Ashton Road in the West End of Glasgow. It sticks out at the gable end where the rest of the road was demolished for the Boyd Orr building of 1972.
Below, an update on our campaign. The Holocaust Memorial Bill has now received Royal Assent.

There’s not much left pre-1980 for either building and they are on a steep hill. It’s all perilous and very sad.
I am involved in this hearing about the redevelopment around the Glasgow School of Art. With no progress on the GSA rebuilding, it makes it all the harder to decide on the fate of the rest of the site. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When you feel depleted of enchantment, walk the wood. It is where magic lives loudly. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982
