Old Photograph Terrace Queen's Park Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of the garden terrace in Queen's Park, Glasgow, Scotland. Queen’s Park was acquired in 1857 and was designed by the world renowned Sir Joseph Paxton, also responsible for noted public parks in London, England, Liverpool, Birkenhead and the grounds of the Spa Buildings at Scarborough. The park was dedicated to the memory of Mary, Queen of Scots and not Queen Victoria, a common misconception given the proximity to Victoria Road and that the park was created during her reign. Mary lost the Battle of Langside near the park.
