Glasgow Zoo

Postby Digitographer » Sat Dec 27, 2008 6:16 pm

I spent an interesting couple of hours this afternoon at the former Glasgow Zoo in Uddingston. It was astonishing how after only a few years, the vegetation has taken over the place. I'd also forgotten how big the place is. Quite eerie being in there all by myself and wondering if there were any muggers in the shrubbery; thankfully, it was too cold and the place was deserted.

I wasn't even aware Glasgow had ever had a zoo! Why'd it close?

Cheers, Peetabix :)

Yes I did indeed sign up there - had a good look round too, and was fascinated.

Some photos taken at Glasgow Zoo in 1993, the only animals, besides my daughters, is a couple of goats in the background of one photo.
