I'm off out to take in some Glasgow Doors Open Day locations later on, but here are some doors I'd love to see re-open: the People's Palace and Winter Gardens, pictured here on the opening day, 22nd January 1898.

Brilliant day at Bridgeton Bus Garage. What an amazing collection of vintage buses ๐๐ @GlasgowDOD Doors Open Days
The Ghost Signs City Centre Walk tour organised by Ghost Signs of Glasgow as part of Glasgow Doors Open Days @GlasgowDOD was a fascinating insight into Glasgow's history. The volunteer tour leaders were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic #GDODF2021 #ghostsignsgla #Glasgow
Delighted to say, I'll be back out on the blether at this September's #GlasgowDoD festival - talking about the 'City in Flux'.
Meanwhile, this Thursday, it's the bright lights of Motherwell and Wishaw Rotary Club.

Sunny day to wander around Glasgow's largest and only country park. Made even better by the fantastic South Glasgow Heritage & Environment Trust podcast - part of the @GlasgowDOD festival. Can't believe a town was just across the water from the stables, and 3 castles! #scotland #glasgow #history

Great day today: cherry picker survey with john gilbert, followed up by his talk on tenement maintenance for @GlasgowDOD, then off to Finnieston after for a condition survey with Brigit Luffingham, and finished things off with an AlexanderThomson_Soc board meeting! JohnGilbertArchitect
@GlasgowDOD Adam ๐ The Govan Stones โ๐ก๐ Cumbraland #GDODFUntold
Not external since it was dug up by gravediggers in 1855, but the Govan Sarcophagus at The Govan Stones โ๐ก๐ does show the rich mix of external influence on the Britonic Kingdom of Strathclyde, putting this realm in a wider cultural and artistic context.
Talk idea submitted for this September's Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival #GlasgowDoD
Back in 2016, I got to deliver the event's opening talk in the magnificent surroundings of the city's St Andrew's in the Square Church.
