Old tracks and bollards on the Clyde Walkway in Glasgow. These are the remnants of the former Stobcross Quay. This was part of the massive Queen's Dock complex, which was named after Queen Victoria when she opened in it 1877. The dock was closed in 1969 and filled in in the 1980s to allow the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre to be built in its place.

As it's International Women's Day, I thought I'd post these lines from a poem called Wild Geese by the American poet Mary Oliver. I came across them today on a sculpture just outside the Scottish Exhibition Centre in Glasgow, which I'd never noticed before.

It closed in 1969 and was subsequently filled in using the remains of demolished Glasgow buildings, including the much-missed Saint Enoch Station and Hotel. In the 1980s, it became home to the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre, with these further buildings being added later.

A late afternoon view across the Clyde to Finnieston and the Scottish Events Campus.

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a view which I never tire of as you can see so many of the different layers of the city all at once.
