If you're passing through Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow today, stop by the Lord Roberts Monument and look out towards the University. Here in 1911, installed for the Scottish National Exhibition of that year, stood a dirigible gondola ride which would take you across the valley below to the far side of the River Kelvin. How fun does that look?
The picture of the ride comes from Glasgow's Great Exhibitions by Perilla Kinchin and Juliet Kinchin.
