Glasgow's Finest
Image: © Andy Farrington Taken: 18 Mar 2012
While I was taking some pictures on Cathcart Road in Glasgow near Hampden Park I spotted this fine group of mounted police. What I hadn't realised was that not only was there a game on at the park, it was the Scottish League Cup Final and 50,000 fans were about to be making their way home after the match. You can clearly see the need for the Strathclyde Mounted Branch on these big occasions to manage the crowds. http://www.strathclyde.police.uk/index.asp?locID=166&docID=-1
