This is an unusual take on the City of Glasgow Coat of Arms from Glasgow Cathedral. It has the usual elements but not in the usual arrangement.

A poem by Edwin Morgan inscribed into a flagstone on Candleriggs in Glasgow, just outside the City Halls. Born in 1920, Morgan became the city's first poet laureate in 1999.

Is this sign at Kelvingrove Art Gallery a hint that it's time to bring Glasgow's Coat of Arms into the 21st Century and replace the Bird with the Drone That Never Flew? 😀

1840s Tudor Gothic gable and finial on 75 Trongate, Glasgow. I love their shapes, and the coat of arms is a cracker, too, especially the fish which are supporting it.

A bird, a fish, a bell and a tree on the facade of a 1905 tenement designed by A.B. McDonald on Stockwell Street in Glasgow. One of many examples of these four symbols all over the city.

The Prince of Wales Bridge in Kelvingrove Park in the West End of Glasgow. Built in 1894, it's named after Queen Victoria's eldest son, Prince Albert, who'd later go on to become King Edward VII.

This bridge has some rather wonderfully carved versions of the city's coat of arms on it spandrels, which are only really visible from the river's edge.

These are known locally as the bird that never flew, the tree that never grew, the fish that never swam and the bell that never rang. You'll see these symbols in many differents forms all across the city.

As yet, I've not managed to track down what it represents. However, there are a lot of variarions on this coat of arms, especially before it was formalised in 1866.
