The main house was demolished in 1954, with Wolfson Halls of Residence being built in its place in 1965. The rest of the estate was used first to establish an animal hospital in 1957, and then the Glasgow vet school in 1970. Despite these developments, a number of remnants of its former grand estate can still be found on the surrounding grounds to this day, such as this farm house, which appears on maps from the mid-1800s onwards.

The main house of the Home Farm on the Garscube Estate on the northwestern edge of Glasgow. This land had been owned by the Campbell family since 1687, and in 1827 Archibald Campbell built the grand Garscube House on the estate to replace an earlier mansion. The house and lands were subsequently purchased by Glasgow University in 1948, and who still own it now.

Someone had a good night out ...
Wall of Tennent's Lager cans stuck into a chain link fence at Garscube Allotments in Glasgow.
I find this strangely intriguing. Is there's a story to go with each and every can which made them worth immortalising in this way? Or did the first one go in as a joke and it simply snowballed from there?
