As ever, lots of interest in our @SpringburnWG Christmas Market stall. The community overwhelmingly supports restoration of the hothouse after 41 years of dereliction. Hopefully, 2025 will be the year we finally secure the capital funding needed to start much needed renovations.

I really enjoy doing my historical walking tour of Springburn Park and @SpringburnWG for @Glasgowdodf each year. It was great to see Springburn featuring so prominently in this year's Doors Open Day!

🚨BREAKING NEWS - @GlasgowCC puts the A-listed Charles Rennie Mackintosh Martyrs School up for sale. 🔍This important building needs a sympathetic owner who will celebrate the legacy of one of Scotland's most famous architects. 👀See the listing: shorturl.at/ijoEr

I enjoyed leading an historical walking tour of Springburn Park for @Glasgowdodf I was joined by one of Scotland's best conservation-accredited structural engineers, Ben Adam, from @NarroAssociates to talk about his recent condition survey of the Winter Gardens for @SpringburnWG

On @SpringburnWG trustee duties this morning supporting @PaulJSweeney on his @Glasgowdodf historic walking tour of Springburn Park

@pagepark Details of my Springburn Park and Winter Gardens walking tour can be found below. I'll be updating everyone on the latest progress with trying to save the Winter Gardens including our recent structural survey by conservation specialist @NarroAssociates 👇🏻glasgowdoorsopendays.org.uk/trails/springb…

I'm looking forward to participating in the 35th annual @Glasgowdodf this coming week! My @SpringburnWG historical walking tour is on Saturday morning, and I'm also on a panel at @pagepark on the Tuesday evening to discuss Glasgow's built heritage crisis.

After discussions with the owner of the former North British Locomotive Company headquarters in Springburn, I am pleased he has agreed to progress with an alternative plan to convert the A-listed building into student accommodation, instead of demolition. reglasgow.com/hundreds-of-st…

All aboard! Just went on an excellent historic bus tour hosted by @PaulJSweeney of #Springburn #Glasgow so rich in history, much of it destroyed, however hints of its rich past still remain if you are told where to look. 👀
