This Is My Glasgow<p>For the duration of the festival, this model village complete with traditional black houses, was inhabited by gaelic-speaking highlanders employed specifically for this purpose. The site of this villiage was alongside the River Kelvin, just upstream of the Prince of Wales Bridge, and it's still marked to this day with a memorial stone carved with the name An Clachan and the date 1911.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/kelvingrovepark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kelvingrovepark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecturephotography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/anclachan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anclachan</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>The toilets closed in the 1980s, and fell into disrepair before being saved and converted into a cafe in the early 2000s. The name of the cafe, An Clachan, means village in Gaelic and comes from the model highland village set up as part of the Scottish National Exhibition that was held in park in 1911 (about the same time the building itself was first constructed). </p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/kelvingrovepark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kelvingrovepark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecturephotography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/anclachan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anclachan</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>If you're familiar with Kelvingrove Park in the West End of Glasgow, you're probably familiar with this cafe, but did you know that the building itself started life as a public toilets? Built in 1913 as part of improvements to the park, it was designed to serve kids playing in the nearby playground, with the arched doorway on the right leading to the boys' toilets, and the one on the left to the girls'. </p><p>Cont./</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/kelvingrovepark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kelvingrovepark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/architecturephotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecturephotography</span></a></p>

This Is My Glasgow<p>If you're passing through Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow today, stop by the Lord Roberts Monument and look out towards the University. Here in 1911, installed for the Scottish National Exhibition of that year, stood a dirigible gondola ride which would take you across the valley below to the far side of the River Kelvin. How fun does that look?</p><p>The picture of the ride comes from Glasgow's Great Exhibitions by Perilla Kinchin and Juliet Kinchin.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/kelvingrovepark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kelvingrovepark</span></a></p>

This Is My Glasgow<p>After this event, the tunnel was sealed and a large gravel barrier was placed in front of it to stop this happening again. In the thirty years since this flood, the gravel barrier has gradually settled to the point where it is now barely noticable and if the Kelvin were to breach the same retaining wall today, the same type of event would most likely be repeated.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/oldrailwayline" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oldrailwayline</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/oldrailways" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oldrailways</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/kelvingrovepark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kelvingrovepark</span></a></p>

This Is My Glasgow<p>The Kennedy Monument in Kelvingrove Park. Sculpted by A. Cain in 1866, it was presented by the City of Glasgow in 1867 by John S. Kennedy, a Glaswegian who had emigrated to the US and made his fortune there. The statue shows a female big cat holding a peacock which she is bringing back to her cubs, and it was the first statue erected in Kelvingrove Park.

This Is My Glasgow<p>If you walk through Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow, you will undoubtedly see this statue of Thomas Carlyle. Born in 1795 in Ecclefechan, Carlyle became a famous writer, historian and philospher.
