Hi
So glad that you found them.
Hope it is a nice spot, the photo is wonderful.
It looks as though you had to chop back that ivy a bit!

The Kelvingrove address will more than likely be for the Sick Childrens Hospital Yorkhill in the Kelvingrove district of Glasgow which opened in 1914 closed in 2015.
