I want to appeal, the other cross thread is a discussion on The history of Glasgow Xs, the thread I posted asks that they be named, they havent all been named yet. :D

See if you google 'Glasgow crosses' one entry comes above this one and it claims that there are between 21 and 25 depending on what you consider Glasgow. The one that lays claim to 25 (all beautifully named too) has an unusable link to HG.

So mention it then?

Why ask people to give info you already have, better to post as list and encourage discussion or ask questions no??
