This Is My Glasgow

Love the bollards decorated with mosaics scattered throughout the Woodlands area of Glasgow. Created as part of the Glasgow 1999 project and designed by local kids, each one is different. This one on Baliol Street made me chuckle due to the time chosen to display on the clock: 3pm is the end of the school day for many kids across the city, and was clearly this designer's favourite time of day!

This is beautiful! I’ll look out for these next time I’m up there. I only recently learned that a lot of the bollards around east London are old French cannons from Trafalgar buried muzzle down in the concrete. (Your bollards are prettier!)

I love how much history is just laying around in a lot of our cities!
