Some new additions to the memorial on the Kelvin Walkway to the Glasgow Sherbet Municipal Works Explosion of 1906. The original plaque (top left) has been there for many years, but the faces of the heroes of day are new.

Whenever I see this foundation stone inscription, it always makes me wonder if William Wilson, the contractor who built this Glasgow bridge, had permission to add his name on its right-hand side, or if he just went ahead and did it anyway!

I love this new piece from the Glasgow Penguins on the Kelvin Walkway in the West End of Glasgow. It's just pure whimsey!

They say the walls have ears, but this wall by the Kelvin Walkway in the West End of Glasgow has eyes instead!

Building a snowman (or rather a snowpenguin!), carol-singing, decorating their Xmas tree, having snow ball fights with the punks next door, and of course visiting Santa: The Glasgow Penguins are certainly full of the Christmas spirit at the moment!

A beech tree on the banks of the River Kelvin beside the Kelvin Walkway in the west end of Glasgow. I've always loved how this tree seems to grow out of the very rock on which it stands.

Looking up at the Belmont Bridge over the River Kelvin in Glasgow.

This bridge was built around 1870 to provide access between the major west end thoroughfare of Great Western Road and the North Woodside estate, owned by the City of Glasgow Bank, to help open it up for development.

Little ghosts, like this one under the Kirklee Bridge, and ceramic pumpkins have been appearing along the Kelvin Walkway in the west end of Glasgow over the last week, and they make a nice addition to the other alternative street art along this stretch of the river.

Absolutely love this new mural on the Kelvin Walkway in Glasgow beside Inn Deep. It's by John Murray.

The North Woodside Flint Mill on the Kelvin Walkway in Glasgow.

Dating from the 1700s, this water-powered mill served a number of different functions over the years, including milling chalk to extract flint nodules.

While it's now ruined, much of it is still visible, including the remains of a giant kiln, which can be seen in the background of this image.

The mill stones in the foreground were brought to this site from elsewhere.

For the first time in a while, my morning dog walk took me past the Glasgow Penguins and their neighbours, the Snails on the Rails. Nice to see they're still there.

The remains of the original Queen Margaret Bridge over the River Kelvin in Glasgow. This cast iron bridge was built in 1870 by John Ewing Walker to provide access between the new neighbourhood of Kelvinside (now referred to as North Kelvinside) which he was developing and the main thoroughfare of Great Western Road on the other side of rhe Kelvin.

This bridge was replaced by the new Queen Margaret Bridge (on what is now Queen Margaret Drive) in the 1920s and much of it was demolished in the 1970s, leaving just the stone piers on which it rested.
