I love this little bat on the Sandyford Henderson Memorial Church on Kelvinhaugh Street in Glasgow. I wonder how many people have walked past this church in the 170 years since it was built and haven't noticed the bat nestled into the overhang beside one of the doors.

People often ask us how we do our research. Well, we listen to a lot of people in pubs and then spend literally minutes verifying what we hear. Crucially, we never let a lack of information (or, indeed, any evidence it's untrue) get in the way of telling a good #Glasgow story!

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!
