Gail - my OH would rather do the dishes or do the ironing than talk about Family History so I'm keeping my fingers crossed he'll do exactly that when I'm out enjoying myself! (Not that I think he'll actually do either!)
Still, I'm hoping if I ask him nicely, he'll chauffeur me back and forth - 'specially on the Saturday so I might be able to have a wee drinky poo.
Poll - don't worry - I've no doubt you'll be sick looking at photos by the time it's all over!

Yes, I think he did.
Poll and I were deep in conversation about sculptors when we were wandering around the Necropolis last year, but I'd be lying if I said I remembered exactly who we discussed. 
Anne
P.S. Poll - it was my pleasure!! Anytime

I was on a tour of the City Chambers Years ago and Im sure that name was mentioned
James Pittendrigh Macgillivray (1856-1938) was quite prolific in Glasgow and held in high esteem
Macgillivray also produced a number of monuments in Glasgow's cemeteries which feature bronze portrait and figurative reliefs.
These include the monuments in the Necropolis to Peter Stewart (1887); Alexander McCall (1888); Annie Greenhill (1889); Sir James Robertson (1889) and the Allan Family (1894-9, portrait relief lost).
In Cathcart cemetery, he produced the monument to Margaret and Annie Brown, with a double portrait relief of the girls (1888), and in Lambhill Cemetery, the monument to the architect James Sellars (1890, bronze relief lost).
As an architectural sculptor he produced figurative work for a number of important Glasgow buildings in the 1880s.
[Rev. James Shanks, Maryhill Parish Church, Glasgow, 1889 (lost)] These include, the City Chambers, for which he carved the spandrel figures in the loggia (1886); the former Anderson's Medical College, 56 Dumbarton Road, for which he executed a tympanum relief group depicting the 16th Century physician, Peter Lowe and his Students and a pair of winged figures (1888-90); and the statues of the Engineer and Shipwright on the former Fairfield's shipyard (1890).
In addition to those mentioned I have seen a work attributed to him in Glasgow Cathedral

Sybil - you HAVE to go to the Necropolis - it's fantastic.
If it's a good weekend - could a wee trip there be squeezed in?
Have you got an itinerary worked out yet? If so, sorry, I must have missed it, could you post it again please?
