Honeycombs sculpture, Govan Riverside
Honeycombs is by Govan-based artist ts Beall. Several trees were felled during landscaping work at Govan Riverside – some of these trees were salvaged and sawn in hexagonal sections by the GalGael Trust under ts Beall’s direction. These sections were bolted together, carved and sealed. There are five Honeycombs sited around Govan Riverside. This one is between Govan Road and Napier Place, opposite Broomloan Road.

Assembly sculpture at Govan Riverside
"Assembly" consists of three similar sculptures (only one of which is shown here) which mark the extent of the area that is likely to contain the site of Doomster Hill*, the circumference of the circle is that measured by Rev Leishman as the outer edge of Doomster Hill in 1850. A cast bronze plaque records this a probable site of the earthwork. The piled steel recalls that the shipyards were built over Doomster Hill.
