We've put up a series of silver plaques around Glasgow telling different stories from Glasgow's history which we feel more people should know about, regardless of whether or not they are true. We'll post more information about these over the next few days.

Our first plaque tells the extraordinary tale of the Elephants of Maryhill Locks. You can find it at the top of Maryhill Locks on the Forth and Clyde Canal in Glasgow.

A humourous plaque telling an alternative history story about how elephants were used to help build a canal in Glasgow, and how it went horribly, but amusingly, wrong!

A 饝惔饝惗饝悷饝惗 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
