This Is My Glasgow Sep 29, 2023

Two neighbouring plaques in the Trongate/Argyle Street area of Glasgow commemorating visits by two of the 18th Century's most famous Scots. Neither Burns nor Bonnie Prince Charlie are usually associated with Glasgow, or with each other, yet this is where their histories come together (metaphorically at any rate).

@thisismyglasgow I was interested to read about the Shawfield Mansion, and the "rioting Glaswegians!" https://www.theglasgowstory.com/image/?inum=TGSA01030

TheGlasgowStory: Shawfield Mansion

TheGlasgowStory tells the story of Glasgow in words and pictures, told by some of Scotland's best writers, and illustrated with thousands of images from the collections of the city's world-famous libraries, museums and universities. From football to fashions, Auchenshuggle to Yoker, you'll find it all here.
