The James Watt North Building on Glasgow University's Gilmorehill Campus. Designed by J.J. Burnet in a Scots Baronial style, it was originally built in 1901 to house the Engineering Department.

When the mills were demolished in the 1930s, the statue was donated to the Glasgow Corporation and erected on Glasgow Green.

I love this plaque on Thomson and Sandilands 1910s commercial building on Trongate in Glasgow. It's a nice reminder of one of the many links between the city and Scotland's greatest inventor and engineer.

Now, I've had some of my best ideas while wandering through Glasgow's many parks, but none have yet been quite of this calibre!

James Watt statue beside the People's Palace in Glasgow. It was created by Charles Grassby in 1864 and originally stood in a niche above the entrance to D. And J. Anderson's Atlantic Mills on Walkinshaw Street in the East End of Glasgow.

Designed by Thomson and Sandilands, it was constructed for City Improvement Trust to house shops on the ground floor with space for offices above. It's built on the site where James Watt had a workshop in 1763.

This culveting was needed as the Monkland Canal acted as a feeder for the Glasgow spur of the Forth and Clyde canal, and without it, it would stagnate and dry up.

I'm delighted #JamesWatt is marrying #GeorgiaToffolo - it's like when two awful characters in #TheArchers get together and are in the same scenes, when you can turn the volume down for three minutes until they've both gone away.

During this period, around 1765, #JamesWatt also began his fruitful partnership with Dr John Roebuck (co-founder of Carron ironworks) at Kinneil House in Bo'ness on secret development and testing of prototypes of Watt's famous steam engine - leading later to their landmark patent of it in 1769

Brewdog claimed to be selling fans $100 million of “equity” in the company. Then the craft brewers screwed them for private investors. #craftbeer #BrewDog #JamesWatt www.jezebel.com/brewdog-sale...
BrewDog Sold Fans Equity in the Company for $100 Million. That Stock Might Now Be Worthless.
Scotland's BrewDog sold shares to 220,000 "investor" customers, but none of them will likely make a dime from its impending sale.
