This Is My Glasgow<p>It can be hard to find a different angle to capture well-photographed landmarks. This is my attempt at doing so for one of the Kelpies, a pair of 30 metre high sculptures which mark the eastern end of the Forth and Clyde Canal.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculpture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/thekelpies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thekelpies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/forthandclydecanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forthandclydecanal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculpture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/publicart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publicart</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/falkirk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>falkirk</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>Today was a great day for indulging in a bit of gongoozling at the Applecross Basin on Forth and Clyde Canal in Glasgow. If you don't know already, gongoozling is the act of watching the activity on a canal, but without getting involved. It's thought to have originated from the Lincolnshire words Gawn and Gooze, both of which mean to stare, and one who gongoozles is a gongoozler.</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/forthandclydecanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forthandclydecanal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/gongoozling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gongoozling</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/canallife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canallife</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>The original Vulcan was scrapped in 1873, by which time canals had been superseded by railways as the fastest way to transport large numbers of people over long distances, but this replica was built in 1987 by apprentices at a shipyard in Govan. It's now housed in the Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life in Coatbridge.</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/shipbuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shipbuilding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/masstransportsystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>masstransportsystem</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/thevulcan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thevulcan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/forthandclydecanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forthandclydecanal</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/summerleemuseum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>summerleemuseum</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>This is a replica of the Vulcan, the world's first all-iron hulled boat. It was designed to carry passengers to and from Glasgow along the Forth and Clyde Canal. Launched in 1819, it was pulled by two shire horses and could carry up to 200 people, and helped turn the canal in Scotland's first mass transit system. </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/shipbuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shipbuilding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/masstransportsystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>masstransportsystem</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/thevulcan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thevulcan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/forthandclydecanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forthandclydecanal</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/summerleemuseum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>summerleemuseum</span></a></p>
This Is My Glasgow<p>New flats overlooking the Firhill Basin in the north of Glasgow. Along with the narrow boats berthed below, their tall, gabled and colourful design give this stretch of the Forth and Clyde Canal a distinctly Dutch feel.

This Is My Glasgow<p>The early 19th Century Lambhill Stables on Forth and Clyde Canal in Glasgow. This was part of a fast passenger boat system of the canal known as Swifts. The horses used to tow these boats would have been changed here, and at other regularly spaced stables along the canal, to allow the passengers to get between Edinburgh and Glasgow as quickly as possible. </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/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/lambhillstables" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lambhillstables</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/forthandclydecanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forthandclydecanal</span></a></p>

This Is My Glasgow<p>1780s workshop buildings at the Applecross Basin on the Forth and Clyde Canal in the north of Glasgow. When these buildings were constructed, the Applecross basin was the terminus of the Glasgow spur of the canal, and as well as being workshops these buildings were also the base for a coach service which ran between here and the centre of the city.</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/architecture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>architecture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/forthandclydecanal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forthandclydecanal</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/applecrossbasin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>applecrossbasin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/maryhill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>maryhill</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowbuildings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowbuildings</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/canals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canals</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/canal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>canal</span></a></p>
