Today is #NationalUnicornDay , and we're always happy to celebrate Scotland's national animal!

We have 2 famous unicorns at University of Glasgow - one sits atop the Memorial Gates (1952), and the other upon the 334 year old Lion & Unicorn staircase, moved from our Old College campus. 🦁🦄

Have you ever noticed this frieze on the UofG Engineering Building, James Watt South?

Titled ‘The Progress of Science’, the sculpture by Eric Kennington and Eric Stanford (1959) features a Latin inscription: 'By sea and by land, through knowledge and skill, learn and teach'. 💙

It's a beautiful spring day, with the sun trickling through the University of Glasgow Cloisters.

Where is your favourite place on campus to enjoy some good weather? ☀️🌷

Our wonderful teams lovingly restored the historic University of Glasgow Florentine House recently. 💙

Build around 1828, this B-listed building was once a residential villa, and is now home to our UofG Social Sciences colleagues. #TeamUofG
