The cartouche above the surviving entrance to the Rottenrow Maternity Hospital in Glasgow. The hospital opened in 1860 closed in 2001. The entrance is now all that survives of its once-grand building.

Love this door handle on the former Barony Church on Rottenrow in central Glasgow. The building dates from the 1880s and was designed by Burnet Son and Campbell.

On this day 575 years ago, the University of Glasgow was founded. Initially teaching from the Cathedral, later moving to the "Auld Pedagogy" on Rottenrow, then to High St, before finally settling by the banks of the Kelvin on Gilmorehill.

The original visitors book from Rottenrow.

Lots of famous signatures in here inc this one - Ernest Hemingway's father - Clarence Edmonds Hemingway. 'Ed' was a GP with an interest in obstetrics who invented spinal forceps.

The book will be on display during our Rottenrow exhibtion, opening 2026.

The mystery of the unfamiliar bird calls I've been hearing form the office for the last few days is solved: an oystercatcher has just flown over Rottenrow Gardens.

The presence of oysters remains unconfirmed.

Many ways to interpret this...

How about this much loved object from Rottenrow - a fire surround etched with the signatures of the doctors and midwives and other staff who worked there over the years

Glasgow Royal Maternity Hospital 'Rottenrow' was a prestigious institution in Glasgow. It closed its doors in 2001.

Murdoch Cameron undertook the first C sections here in 1888 - the first baby was named Caesar Cameron 'CC' 😍

The bus sometimes has a big ass progress Pride flag on the side, but I know entirely too well that it’s easier to do a photo op than really act.

This, at a small independent shop near Rottenrow, is a lot braver than painting a bus.

The first C sections in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 were performed at Rottenrow by Murdoch Cameron. Munro Kerr, later Muirhead Chair of Obs & Gyn @UofGlasgow was Cameron’s assistant.

Not baby Jesus but the baby boy born on April 10th 1888 was named Caesar Cameron

Prof J.H Teacher 1869-1930, 1st St Mungo Prof of Pathology at @uofglasgow.bsky.social & GRI

He tirelessly catalogued the work of William Hunter, had a particular interest in gynaecological pathology & worked at Rottenrow too. In the 1930 British Medical Journal we found a copy of his obituary.

Had no idea student halls at my old uni was once a ‘hospital’ where they tortured women and child SA victims with horrific experiments. Really hope Strathclyde make the memorial happen. Such an important part of women’s history www.glasgowlive.co.uk/news/glasgow...
