I walked today. Not around Dublin, although there was a swerve of shore, of sorts, at the bend of Granton bay.

My prize was that I saw the Granton Whale within Gasholder no. 1.

“…soaring high, high resplendent, aflame, crowned, high in the effulgence symbolistic, high, of the ethereal bosom, high, of the high vast irradiation everywhere all soaring all around about the all, the endlessnessnessness..."

I think Glasgow might be the only place in the world where you can find Highland cows grazing in front of the hulkings remains of disused Victorian gas holders!

No. 4 Gasholder at the former Temple Gas Works in west of Glasgow. Built by the Barrowfield Ironworks Ltd for the Corporation of Glasgow Gas Department. It's 41.5 metres high and about 73 metres in diameter. When in use, it had three telescopic steel shells which would rise and fall as the volume of gas stored in it changed, ensuring a consistent pressure to the local gas supply.

Gasholders No. 1 and No. 2 at the Provan Gasworks in the northeast of Glasgow. Built for the Glasgow Corporation in 1903 by Barrowfield Iron Works Limited, they're the largest gasholders ever built in Scotland. They're also some of the only ones to survive to this day.

Temple Gasworks Gasholder Number Five in the west of Glasgow at dawn this morning. Measuring 44.5m in height and 71m in diameter, it sits on top of a 15m deep underground tank. It was built in 1900 by the Barrowfield Ironworks Ltd for the Glasgow Corporation Gas Department. At its peak of operation, there were five gasholders at the Temple Gasworks, but only numbers four and five now remain.
