Tolbooth Steeple
Glasgow October 2015
Another walk in my hometown. This time during Autumn. When the leafs are falling and the sun is shining. I started with a walk along the banks of the river Clyde.

Bank of the Clyde
The Clutha bar reopened after the horrendous helicopter crash. Wonderful Artwork on the walls of the bar.
On 29 November 2013, a police helicopter crashed into the Clutha Vaults.Sadly ten people died in the accident including the three members of the copter.

After the Clutha I walk through the gates of Glasgow Green. Great park any time of the year but a wee bit special in Autumn. Glasgow Green is the oldest of the city's parks.
McLennan Arch
Walking past the McLennan Arch. This monument used to be part of the Assembly RoomsThis the western entrance to the Green. I noticed the arch is dated MDCCCXCIII (1843) It was originally in Ingram Street in 1890. Since then, the arch has had two other resting places near Glasgow Green before it was moved here around 1990.
Nelson's Monument
The first civic monument in Britain to commemorate Nelson's victories. Three years before Nelsons column in London.
