WenWell the MSM are beginning to catch up. Although some in this parish certainly, are well aware of these enhancements to memorial plaques in Glasgow. But the url might have provided a wee clue. <a href="http://archive.today/2025.01.04-001447/https://www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/article/who-are-the-plaque-pranksters-leaving-silly-signs-around-glasgow-5zlfq9rt7" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://archive.today/2025.01.04-001447/https://www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/article/who-are-the-plaque-pranksters-leaving-silly-signs-around-glasgow-5zlfq9rt7</a><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Glaikit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Glaikit</a>

This Is My GlasgowIt seems there's an entire history of Glasgow which no one never knew existed until someone starts putting up plaques about it. And once there are plaques, it must be real, right? This one is in by the abandoned railway station in the city's Botanic Gardens, and there are about a dozen similar Glaikit plaques in all.at various points around the city.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowhistory</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/triffids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#triffids</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbotanicgardens" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowbotanicgardens</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glaikit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glaikit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/plaques" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plaques</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/streetart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streetart</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/flashfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#flashfiction</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/streetfiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streetfiction</a>

We Are GlaikitThe story presented in this plaque took quite a bit of research to uncover. It's about Glasgow's most flamboyant billionaire and the forgotten reason why he built the Finnieston Crane.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glaikit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glaikit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/humour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humour</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/streetart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streetart</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhumour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowhumour</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowstreetart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowstreetart</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/finniestoncrane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#finniestoncrane</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/nessie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nessie</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/lochnessmonster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lochnessmonster</a>

This Is My GlasgowI came across this plaque today on Byres Road in the West End of Glasgow. Who knew this was home to the original Wild West? Or that it had such a colourful history? 🤣<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/byresroad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#byresroad</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glaikit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glaikit</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhumour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#glasgowhumour</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/humour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humour</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/wildwestend" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildwestend</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/fondantfancy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fondantfancy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/keepglasgowweird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#keepglasgowweird</a>

RajI was walking along the canal this afternoon and found another of the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Glaikit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Glaikit</a> plaques (just by lock 21) which made me laugh out loud.<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Glasgow</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ForthAndClydeCanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ForthAndClydeCanal</a>
