Love this sign on Gardner Street in the West End of Glasgow. For those who don't know, with a gradient of around 10%, this section of Gardner Street is notorious as being one of the steepest in the city. The sign is the work of the Glasgow-based guerilla artist A Sign of Humour.

Tenement chimneys and gables on Gardner Street in the Partick area of Glasgow, one of the city's steepest streets.

This evening's impressive sky over the tenements of Gardner Street in the Partick area of Glasgow.
So next time you are slogging up one of the city's many hills, just remember you're climbing part of an ancient glacial landscape. It won't make it any easier, but it might just distract you from your efforts for a few minutes!
However, not all Glasgow hills are drumlins. For example, the hill the necropolis is built on isn't a drumlin. Instead is the remains of an extinct volcano, but it too has been sculpted by glacial action, with the ice whittling away the outer rock, leaving just the central plug of solidified magma sticking into the air.

Looking down Gardner Street in the west end of Glasgow.
This is one of the steepest streets in the city. With a gradient of 8.03%, it's steep enough to ski down when it snows (I know because I've done it!). However, it's no where near being the steepest street in Scotland, which, at a whopping 19.4%, is Middle Brae in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull.
