A cast-iron mile marker on the road between Glasgow and Aberfoyle (to use the modern spelling). Originally placed every mile, I know of six, out of of what was presumably originally around 27, that are left in situ along this road. This design seems to be unique to Glasgow, and the ones giving distances to Stirling and to major towns south of Glasgow follow different designs.

Monochrome Reflections: The Day You Died

And whose life do I lead? / Whose blood do I bleed? / Whose air do I now breathe? / I’m convinced there’s nothing more. / The day you died I lost my way. / The day you died I lost my mind. / What am I supposed to do? / Is there something more?“ (from „Forsaken (Vocal Version)“ by VNV Nation)

Monochrome Reflections: Marjorie

„I’d think you were talking to me now / If I didn’t know better / I’d think you were still around / What died didn’t stay dead / What died didn’t stay dead / You’re alive, you’re alive in my head“ (from „marjorie“ by Taylor Swift)
