The Kibble Palace, arguably Glasgow's finest example of Victorian iron work. Created by John Kibble, it was originally built at Coulport on the shores of Loch Long before being taken apart, moved to Glasgow and re-built at its current location in The city's Botanic Gardens in the 1870s.

The first rays of the morning sun hitting the top of the Kibble Palace glasshouse in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens. At this time of year, this happens around 10:00am.

Eve in the the Garden of Eden. Sculptured by Scipione Tadolini around 1880, this statue looks very much at home amongst the tropical plants of the Kibble Palace glass house in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens. However, it was only moved here from the nearby Kelvingrove Art Gallery in the 1930s.
