@angell 99% of gargoyles look like Bob Todd. Not that one though, must be one of the 1%

@kathryns @angell it’s very real!

Paisley Abbey had some work done in the 90s and a stone mason decided to add the Alien.

Google “Paisley abbey Xenomorph” and you’ll find a tonne of pictures of it.

@angell Where is your gargoyle monkey playing bagpipes???? Is it in your ALT text, cos I couldn't see any, sorry?
Show threadFay HopeNov 19, 2022
@angell Hi again, my query about the monkey was a genuine query..where was the gargoyle to be found (ie on what structure or what City?). I used to go to Glasgow Uni decades ago and the University mock gothic architecture and building adornments were always interesting...

@FayHope9 hey! Sorry, having problems replying. It’s on the side of St George’s Chapel which is in Windsor Castle. I visited there for the first time today. ♥️

@angell Many thanks!!! I did wonder and couldn't see any info in Alt text for the photo you used.

I cant remember when I last visited Windsor - maybe two or three decades ago, so I appreciate now I have something to look for when next I visit!

@angell
that’s not a gargoyle, it’s a grotesque. gargoyles are a specific sub-type of grotesque that are fitted with drains to spit rainwater away from the building in order to curb erosion.

I see your monkey playing bagpipes, and raise you an Alien. 13th Century Paisley Abbey gargoyle.
