Old photograph of Blythswood Square Gardens, in the Blythswood Hill area of the City of Glasgow, Scotland. The square is one of the residential developments on Blythswood Hill on the 35 acres of ground purchased in 1802 by William Harley, textile manufacturer and builder, from the Douglas Campbells of Blythswood. His plan for the square and its adjacent streets was sketched out by architect James Gillespie Graham in 1819. The Blythswood Square Proprietors association own and maintain the gardens in the central area. In summer months these are open at lunchtimes to the public and office workers in the neighbourhood.
