These murals depict Saint Mungo (aka Saint Kentigern), the Patron Saint of Glasgow. I have shown views of these wonderful pieces of Smug’s street art before, but I thought I’d share them again to go with the photos of Glasgow Cathedral that I posted yesterday. Created in 2016 and 2019, they are still in great condition and I was delighted to spot them again on my recent visit to Glasgow.

These are wonderful! I’m always particularly in awe of artists who work on this huge scale, unable to easily stand back and see the entirety of their creation as they paint.

Wonderful murals. But I have a question: What did St Mungo do to his nose? I am not speculating as I have Scottish friends I want to keep.
