Beautiful carved wooden #Glasgow CoA at the Gasgow Art Club 🥰🐦🌳🔔🐟

Lovely bit of serendipity at our current #Glasgow CoA exhibition as reorted in yesterday's Sunday Post! 🐦🌳🔔🐟

St Mungo, followed by the ring of Languoreth and then the elements of the @glasgowcoa.bsky.social on the Central Entrance of the #Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Here is the bird that never flew Here is the tree that never grew Here is the fish that never swam Here is the bell that never rang 1/2

The elements of the @glasgowcoa.bsky.social Here is the bird that never flew Here is the tree that never grew Here is the fish that never swam Here is the bell that never rang Pulpit stairs, Glasgow Cathedral.

30 years! I would break down in tears. I'm sort of teary just reading about it.

Lovely to see the artist reunited with her work!! 🐦🌳🔔🐟

The other project, which may in fact take 200 Sammo films to finish, is to knit this incredible jumper designed by the legendary Mandy McIntosh, which features the Glasgow Coat of Arms depicted in Aran knitting. This is the sample and mine will hopefully be identical. 🌳🕊️🔔🐟 👀@glasgowcoa.bsky.social!

Look what happened at the exhibition!! I'm delighted to see this wee piece of magic happen. You never know what might come from putting yourself, your ideas, or your work out there! ✨️🐦🌳🔔🐟 #Glasgow

Happy St Kentigern's Day all Glaswegians 💚 ~ spotted from a far distance here on @govanhillbaths.bsky.social #Glasgow Coat Of Arms window etching... snapped at @glasgowcoa.bsky.social free & community-sourced photo exhib @ Deep End on Nithsdale St which runs until 6th Feb 🙌 bsky.app/profile/csbu...

Need this pop of colour on such a grey, January morning… Always love seeing this @glasgowcoa.bsky.social at the bottom of Byres Road. 🌳 🐟 🔔 🐦 💍

On St Kentigern's Day, fill your boots with Glasgow Cathedral stained glass with some @glasgowcoa.bsky.social and St K himself (unless I'm mistaken, which is entirely possible)

3/3 'Here is the bird that never flew Here is the tree that never grew Here is the bell that never rang Here is the fish that never swam' Symbols of the Four Miracles of St Mungo on the arms of the City of Glasgow, in glass by William Wilson in Glasgow Cathedral.

Timeless message from @ncdominie.bsky.social on this day, the Feast of St Kentigern, Glasgow's own: "Have a blessed St Kentigern's Day, and try not to decapitate any sheep." 🙏😬🐦🌳🔔🐟

They know me so well! 😋🎁🐦🌳🔔🐟 #Glasgow

A gem of a find on the Internet Archive! My childhood library's Index Catalogue from 1909 📚🐦🌳🔔🐟 I was interested to see the hygiene notes therein having watched someone slurping their way through a library book on the train during covid 😷

Nope, @imperfectproduct.bsky.social, mysterious tho it is, that's *not* the mystery #Southside CoA! 🕵‍♂️🐦🌳🔔🐟

This bit of my exhibition highlights that no two takes on the same coat of arms are identical - in this case the painted glass in Govanhill Baths. It totally depends on what the viewer brings to the picture. Today I clocked the exact same one in the 'Old Govanhill' book! 🏊‍♂️🐦🌳🔔🐟

Found this amongst the leaflets at the Deep End today! (where the exhibition's running till 6 Feb) 🏊‍♀️🐦🌳🔔🐟

My phone's reminding me of this time last year when I started doing stone plaster copies of my first CoA carving - a mini-version of the one on Pollokshields Library 🐦🌳🔔🐟

Well, now that the exhibition has launched I can have a bit of time getting on with carving, tho' I should probably just do one at a time: I've the symbols in the Chambers quadrangle, the oldest architectural example in the city at the Tron and the the mystery Southside one at various stages! 🐦🌳🔔🐟

Been a busy week incl several 14-hr shifts working on this wee gig. It's been amazing to get my teeth into something after being out of the picture for 5yrs. Great wee launch last night. It's on Mon-Fri, 12-5pm til 6 Feb. I'll be there on Thursdays 2-4pm if you want a guided tour

Just heading home from the launch of this lovely wee exhibition. Well worth making time for.

Molly Pin Li McLaren, come home and look at the pictures in your brand-new book – a tree, a bird, a fish, a bell, a bell, a fish, a tree, a bird. Point, wee Molly, and say the word! —Liz Lochhead “Glasgow Nonsense Rhyme” in FUGITIVE COLOURS, Polygon 2016 #poem #poetry birlinn.co.uk/product/fugi...

Nice #Glasgow coat of arms, shame about the rest 🐦🌳🔔🐟

The Concert Hall wall just after sundown today 🐦🌳🔔🐟 #Glasgow

First exhibition in 5 years - the boards are back!! Updated with loads of recent contributions. A selection of the crowd-sourced archive pics - including this cracker of Govanhill Baths from @druidic.org - getting shown at a Southside venue for the 1st time 😁🐦🌳🔔🐟 www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/glasgow-co...

One of my fave pics of me at my wedding in the Clyde room, Montrose Street, nine years ago today! 😋 💒🐦🌳🔔🐟

Snapped this #Glasgow CoA on Clyde Street at the weekend - first time I've caught it on a sunny day! (Though tbh others have managed it before, not least @bigrabkenney.bsky.social!). It's a former Police barracks & 'Sally Ann' homeless hostel, now student accommodation ☀️🐦🌳🔔🐟

#Glasgow #PeoplesPalace #GlasgowGreen 🐦🌳🔔🐟

Morning! Here's to another cold + sunny day here in #Glasgow ☀️🐦🌳🔔🐟

A wee wander round the Green today + spotted this banner someone has put at the front of the People's Palace - Elseth King RIP 🐦🌳🔔🐟

🐧🐟🔔🌳 (A still from mariannevosloo's footage on instagram. Thanks to louisemcveyartist for the heads up!)

@glasgowcoa.bsky.social Just taken receipt of this charming 1906 booklet, bizarrely from an ebay vendor in Italy! And arguably even more weirdly, printed in Edinburgh. Each of the text pages has a bird, bell, tree or fish emblem.

Important🧵! 🐦🌳🔔🐟 #Glasgow #StMungo #StKentigern #GlasgowHistory

An unedifying Holyrood magazine 'local election special' cover from 2012 featuring Johann Lamont and Alex Salmond grasping at the #Glasgow coat of arms symbols as they fought over the city 🗳 🐦🌳🔔🐟

Temporary Glasgow#850 banners + yellow ad banners with a nod to the Glasgow's miles better campaign. Meanwhile on the wall of the Concert Hall, the enduring Glasgow logo - the coat of arms! 😉 🐦🌳🔔🐟

The People's History of Glasgow by John K. McDowall, 2nd Edition (1899) which, in its discussion of the Tolbooth, slides seamlessly from spikes for law-breaking heids to the tunes of the chimes! 😳🐦🌳🔔🐟 (I'm not seeing the fish on the cover. Let me know if you can see it)

@glasgowcoa.bsky.social at the Dental Hospital - didn’t even know there was an entrance on Renfrew Street! 🌳 🐦 🔔 🐟 💍

New CoAs in the Chambers too thanks to Interfaith Glasgow.

This is stunning @glasgowcoa.bsky.social! Thanks x 1 million. #Glasgow850 #LetGlasgowFlourish

Beautiful interpretations here of the #Glasgow coat of arms symbols! 😍🐦🌳🔔🐟

@glasgowcoa.bsky.social, had you seen this depiction of the big man before? (W. G. Beaton, "Glasgow Our City", Corporation Education Department 1948/1957)

We also have this lovely volume. It is absolutely stuffed with information about things like sewage pumping stations and the inspection of weights and measures.

The Maybe If He's Reading About It He'll Shut Up For A Bit Fund has received further donations. This one was published by the Corporation Education Department in 1935.

St Andrews Cathedral - colourful design featuring the symbols from the #Glasgow coat of arms ⛪️🐦🌳🔔🐟

I've seen this window whilst inside the hall, but today I finally noticed the stained glass #Glasgow coat of arms from *outside* at #Pollokshields Burgh Hall 🐦🌳🔔🐟

Enjoying a quiet bit of scraping this Sunday morning. Bliss! 🐦🌳🔔🐟
