I love how this mid-Victorian church on Tharsis Street in the east of Glasgow is set into the slope of Garngad Hill.

Love these ornate hinges on the 1860s former Foundry Boys Religious Society Church on Tharsis Street in the east of Glasgow.

Howdy pals. The park I've been working on has been nominated for an award at the Glasgow Times Community Champion Awards. It would mean so much if you voted for "Garngad Gardens" in the Green Community Champion category.

'Lost' name of North Glasgow returns as community remembers the Garngad
When the people of the Garngad voted to change the area’s name to Royston, a little piece of North Glasgow history almost disappeared.

There's also this interior shot of the wash-house at Garngad, which also appears in "Municipal Glasgow" (1914).
Never say I don't supply you with some of the most exciting content on this website.

Garngad Gardens will be our community's garden. Bringing back the name Garngad, after it became Royston in 1942, is our way of reclaiming our heritage and saying that we're more than statistics, we're more than what the newspapers said we were. That people here are proud of being from the Garngad.

The Garngad, just north of the Royal Infirmary, housed asylum seekers when Glasgow was the only local authority to do so. One of the poorest parts of Glasgow, it’s where I am from, but it’s an example of acceptance and assimilation
"We get to see the larger community response, which is: what can I do? How can I share? What do you need at the moment?” Such a good, nuanced piece by @libbybrooks.bsky.social looking at the confluence of factors causing tensions in Glasgow but also how the city is fighting Reform's toxic rhetoric.

In the face of Nigel Farage, flag-waving and a longstanding housing crisis, some Glaswegians are taking on anti-immigration rhetoric

A fortnight ago, people in Royston turned out to protest against news a local building was being turned into an “illegal migrant hotel”.
The only problem? It was completely false. So what happened? @everebecca.bsky.social investigates

Oooh, I know someone who's working on something linked to the Garngad/the move of folks out to Blackhill, would this be available somewhere I could direct them towards?

I wonder how many of the keyboard managers would have 2 wins, 2 draws and a loss from 5 Champions League games. I can't understand why Celtic don't employ wee Stevie from the Garngad instead of Brendan Rodgers 👀
