Recreation ground, Kelbourne Street
What is shown on the maps as a recreation ground has become an experiment studying plant succession. There are remains of tennis court fencing in the new woodland which is naturally taking over this neglected space. Untidy, but probably a wildlife haven.

North Kelvinside Parish Church
This is a view along Kelbourne Street, from its junction with Queen Margaret Drive.
The previous church building occupied the corner (the grassy space in front of the present building), but has now been demolished; see https://canmore.org.uk/site/168496/glasgow-queen-margaret-drive-north-kelvinside-church (at Canmore) for a photograph of it. The present-day building was its church hall, and stands on the site of a "mission hall", probably the same building, that is shown on OS maps from 1895, and which therefore pre-dates the now-demolished church.

Maryhill Territorial Army barracks
This is Walcheren Barracks, home of the 52nd Lowland, 6th Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland. Not to be confused with the original Maryhill Barracks, where Rudolf Hess was held prisoner in World War II. Thanks to Johnem for clearing that up.

Fishing, River Kelvin
Although flowing through central Glasgow, the Kelvin is a well oxygenated upland river and supports a fishery. The Botanic Gardens Arboretum on the opposite bank. Below me is a small sandstone crag falling directly into the river.
