A few years back, I bought a collection of photographic contact sheets from ebay. From various film posters featured on hoardings, I've been able to date them to around 1951/52, with most of images taken around Garnethill/Sauchiehall Street, meaning our talented but amateur snapper probably lived in the area.

I wonder whether any of the children featured recognise their younger selves, or a dad, uncle, or neighbour in these 'orphaned' images?

๐ŸŒ’โœจ LOOK UP, GARNETHILL! โœจ๐ŸŒ’

Something spectacular is happening in our skies! ๐ŸŒŒ

On Wednesday 12 August, between 6pm and 8pm, we may be able to see a solar eclipse โ€” so keep your eyes on the sky and your cameras ready! ๐Ÿ“ธโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒ‘

If youโ€™re hoping to catch it, Garnethill Viewpoint (at the end of Hill Street) is a brilliant central spot because it faces west/north-west โ€” exactly the direction you need for this eclipse. Maximum coverage of around ~91.3% is expected at about 19:05 BST, when the Sun will be sitting low in the western sky. ๐ŸŒ…

Here are some other great local viewing spots with open western views:

๐ŸŒ Best viewing spots around Glasgow:

- Cathkin Braes โ€“ highest point in the city with wide visibility
- Queenโ€™s Park (flagpole area) โ€“ great panoramic skyline views
- Kelvingrove Park โ€“ central and open with west-facing outlooks
- Loch Lomond Shores โ€“ further afield with expansive western horizons

Whether youโ€™re in a park, your home, or out in Garnethill, itโ€™s a perfect moment to pause and look up. โค๏ธ

โš ๏ธ Never look directly at the Sun without proper eclipse-safe eye protection.

Whoโ€™s hoping for clear skies? ๐Ÿคž๐ŸŒค๏ธ

Positive meeting with GSoA today. We are reassured that a faithful restoration will be completed. The CC have also been assured that we will be part of discussions going forward, so that we are fully engaged at every step. They will attend our September meeting with timescales. The governance model to secure the buildingโ€™s future will include the CC.
