The Hidden Glasgow Forums

OK some more information. I've now been to all the parks in the east end (providing Garthamlock Central Park does not exist) and can confirm Beardmore Park, like Pollok Country Park and Garnethill Park, does not have a green GCC sign but does have signage.

Found some of the plaques they mention: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5308/5890693748_3a7c19337f.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5302/5890127255_624a327cd0.jpg http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6044/58...

Picked up a leaflet I hadn't seen today in City Halls - Glasgow Landmarks. I wondered where all these "Glasgow Landmarks" plaques were and why. Now I know - there appear to be fifty of these landmarks around the city. Not sure all will have plaques.

Anyone been around them yet?

Would I be right in saying that this waterway in Moledinar Park is the only instance of the Molendinar above ground now?

Cheers Mori. I'll try and get to a few more. There's a Victoria Park Heritage Trail out now also: http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/24369F9E-D95E-459C-9AFA-1CBFC2C22F61/0/vicleaflet.jpg Taking a group on a tour there next weekend as part of this International Sundays thing I do.

awesome-tastic.

Anyone able to repost the main list with all the parks AND the area of Glasgow they fall under - example:

Garnethill Park, Garnethill, City Centre

Legend. Those look awesome. Nice to see the Dear Green Place is still improving itself.

Anyone see the piece in the Weekend Evening Times this week about Molendinar Park? Apparently the city's newest public park?
