A throwback to a stunning red sunset over the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow in September 2023. It's also a timely reminder that while it's now getting darker earlier again, it also means we'll soon be into the season of spectacular sunsets.

The Three Towers: Kelvingrove Art Gallery against this evening's rather ominous sky in Glasgow.

Perhaps most interesting is the sword. As Kiribati has no metal ores, the islanders had to look elsewhere to make its blade and they chose shark teeth, creating a highly effective weapon which would both slash and tear at flesh in equal measure.
Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum has many treasures in it, but this probably the one which most facinated me as a child. It's a suit of armour from Kiribati in Micronesia. The body covering is made from coconut while the helmet, which is more for show than protection, is made from the inflated and then dried skin of a porcupine fish.

The towers and turrets of the late Victorian Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow rising above the trees of Kelvingrove Park in the city's West End, and doing their best to make it look like a fairytale castle surrounded by an enchanted forest.

A beautifully sculpted boat carrying elements from the Glasgow Coat of Arms above a door of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in the West End of Glasgow, which opened in 1901. Similar boats can be seen on buildings across Glasgow from the same period.
Good morning, Glasgow. It's another glorious sunny start to the day, and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery is looking as spectacular as ever.

Good morning, Glasgow. After a slightly wet and overcast weekend, Monday's turning out to be a rather wonderful Spring day, and like the Kelvingrove Art Gallery, the city's buildings are really starting to shine, so get out there and enjoy them. As for me, I'll be spending a good part of the day teaching a class of 11 year olds how to juggle!
Science by William Burnie Rhind. Created in 1898 as one of eight allegorical figures to adorn the roof of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the west end of Glasgow.

Good morning, Glasgow. It's a wonderful Spring day outside today with clear blue skies, and even a little bit of warmth in the sun when it hits your skin. Almost taps aff weather (but not quite!).
Good morning, Glasgow, and what a morning it is! Yes, it's a wee bit chilly, but the sun is out and the skies are blue. It really feels like Spring is well and truly underway.
