History

There used to be a plaque telling you about this but it has been removed :(

Victoria Park is a 20-hectare (50-acre) park located in Glasgow, Scotland, adjacent to the districts of Scotstoun, Whiteinch, Jordanhill and Broomhill. The park was created and named for Queen Victoria's jubilee in 1887. The main entrances to the park are from Westland Drive, Victoria Park Drive North, and Balshagray Avenue. The Friends of Victoria Park (FoVP) is a West Glasgow group set up to protect and develop Victoria Park. There are a number of features within Victoria Park: - A memorial honouring the local residents who died in World War I and World War II. - A children's playpark with climbing frames and swings. - A pond, with two small islands. The larger island is connected on both sides by iron bridges. - A fully restored four-dial miniature lamp post clock, donated by William Gordon Oswald in 1888. - The Jubilee Gates situated at the Victoria Park North Drive entrance were erected and funded by the 'Ladies of Partick' in 1887. They were manufactured by Macfarlane's Saracen foundry at a cost of £100. They bear the Partick Burgh coat of arms. In 1987 (the gates' centenary year) they underwent a restoration, and the gates have recently had another restoration to the original colours of red and gold. - The Fossil Grove - During the park's construction in the late 19th century, when a pilot channel for the road was cut through a large area of rock, the builders discovered preserved fossilised tree trunks. The route for the road was then diverted and the sand and shale further excavated to reveal more fossils. - Scotland's most northerly parakeet flock.

The trig point on Saucel Hill offers an incredible view of Paisley, including the town centre with Paisley Abbey and Town hall easily recognised. To the South the Gleniffer Braes can be seen and to the North, the view includes Glasgow Airport and the Kilpatrick Hills. A perfect place to catch a stunning sunset.

The birthplace of William Wallace, the greatest Scottish national hero.

A medieval abbey with beautiful architecture through out. The abbey also has a tower that you can climb. The stairs are spiral and incredibly narrow but the view is great and worth the climb.
