The 18th Century Pollok House in Glasgow. Donated to the city in 1966, it's currently closed for renovations and is largely hidden by scaffolding. This photo was taken just before it closed in 2023, but it will reopen again once the work has been completed.

Red Lodge in Pollok Country Park. This house appears on maps dating back to 1895, and prior to that, it's marked as the location of Inchloch Lodge Well. I really like the narrowness of this building.

Designed in the 1970s and opened in 1983, the glass reflects the surrounding trees, while allowing as much light as possible into the building itself.

I love a pun business name, and this is a good one. It's on a coffee van outside the Burrell Collection in Pollok Park, home to the Glasgow City Council fold of prize-winning Highland cows.

A triceratops skull (or rather a replica of one) in the walled garden of Pollok Country House. This is one of a series of dinosaur bone sculptures hidden here amongst the trees and bushes, jist waiting for kids to discover them.

The 1750s bridge over the White Cart at Pollok Country House in Glasgow. I might well be wrong, but I think this makes it the oldest surviving bridge in the city.

Today's morning dog walk was in Pollok Park on the Southside of Glasgow, surrounded by beech trees looking stunning in their autumn colours.

Two ducks, heads raised, beaks extended, on the surface of the White Cart river in the shadow of a tree. Ripples and reflections on the surrounding water

Autumn has arrived in Glasgow!

One of the things I love about Autumn is the abundance of fungi of all shapes and sizes. I came across these delicate little ones on a fallen tree today while walking the dog in Pollok Country Park in Glasgow.

One of the rather wonderful stone lions at the Georgian era Pollok House in Glasgow against this mornings pure blue sky.

Seeing such a magnificent fellow redhead always makes me pine for my once-just-about-as-magnificent ginger mane that is now a mere shadow of its former self (in terms of quantity, coverage and colour!).

Love the gates at the original entrance to the Pollok Estate (now Pollok Country Park) in Glasgow, especially the lions.

Beech trees in Pollok Country Park in Glasgow. There are few things in life as green as brand new beech leaves - perfect for a little bit of shinrin-yoku forest-bathing as it is also known.

The eagle-eyed amongst you will spot my dog reflected in the glass door as she patiently waits for me to stop interupting her morning walk once again with yet more photographs of buildings!

This is one of several old stone arches incorporated into the building, including the 16th Century Hornby Portal, through which the main part of the museum is entered.

There's an unwritten rule in Glasgow that you can't visit Pollok Country Park without taking at least one photograph of the park's resident Highland cows, so here's mine from today.
