Memorial on the Sikorski Polish Club on Park Terrace in Glasgow to the memory of around 22,000 Polish prisoners of war murdered by the Soviet secret police in April and May 1940 and buried in mass graves in the Katyn Forest.
I've always found this plaque in the cloisters of Glasgow University rather interesting. James McGill may not be a name many are familiar with in his native Glasgow, but he certainly left his mark on his adopted homeland of Canada.
A plaque in Central Station marking the site of the Alston Street Theatre in Glasgow. Built in 1764, it's generally taken to be the first permanent theatre in the city, but it was actually outwith the then city limits. This was because Glasgow's magistrates would not allow a theatre to be built in the city itself. Instead, one was built in the nearby village of Grahamston.
Two neighbouring plaques in the Trongate/Argyle Street area of Glasgow commemorating visits by two of the 18th Century's most famous Scots. Neither Burns nor Bonnie Prince Charlie are usually associated with Glasgow, or with each other, yet this is where their histories come together (metaphorically at any rate).
A plaque commemorating the men and women of the City of Glasgow Police on Trongate in Glasgow. No matter what the London Metropolitan Police try to claim, its the oldest force in the UK!
A plaque marking the birthplace of Charles Rennie MacKintosh, probably Glasgow's most famous architect, in the Townhead area of the city in June 1868. In the 1890s, MacKintosh returned to the area to design the Saint Martyr's school which would have been visible from the tenement where he was born. While the school remains, the tenement itself is now long gone.
I was rather pleased to randomly come across this plaque on a tenement on Dumbarton Road in Yoker today. I remember watching 'All Creatures Great and Small' as a child, but I only recently realised that the vet it was based on was: A. Real; and B. From Glasgow (you'd never have guessed this from Christopher Timothy's accent in the 1980s TV series!).
