John Slezer's engraving of 1693 shows what was then known as the University of Glasgow's New College, which was built in the 1630s on the same site as the medieval college, and used until the university moved to the west end of the city in 1870.

Great cards, and I think the gargoyles are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThese gargoyles are superb. I got this postcard through Postcrossing.
DeleteOh, I do love seeing gargoyles and grotesques. I only wish I were able to float upwards to better see them!
ReplyDeleteBinoculars help, but flying would be far better ;)
