Gary Nisbet and
Tim Gardner.
Gary is the historian and Tim is the webmaster.
All the photographs have been taken by one of us,

Gary Nisbet was born in Glasgow in 1960 and studied Tourism
and Supervisory Management.
A freelance researcher and photographer of Glasgow's architecture and
sculpture, he contributed to Glasgow's City of Culture celebrations with the
Scots Magazine article Gary Nisbet's City of Sculpture in August
1990, and followed this with an exhibition of his photography at the
RIAS
Bookshop, Sauchiehall Street, in 1991.
From 1998-2001, he contributed research
and photography to Ray McKenzie's books Sculpture in Glasgow and Public
Sculpture of Glasgow (Joint-winner of the 2002 Saltire Society Scottish Research Book of the Year),
for which he compiled the Biography and Lost Works sections,
and worked on the PMSA
Glasgow Sculpture
Recording Project, co-ordinated by Ray McKenzie at Glasgow School of Art.
In recent years he has contributed research and advice to a number of restoration projects in Glasgow,
the most important of which have been the restoration of the Doulton Fountain on Glasgow Green, and the Stewart Memorial
Fountain in Kelvingrove Park.
As well as co-producing the Glasgow - City of Sculpture website,
he is currently working on surveys of sculpture in Paisley; Glasgow's
cemeteries, including the Necropolis; and the city's lost sculpture and forgotten fountains.
He has also appeared in the national press and on radio and television, including the BBC
's The One Show,
discussing Glasgow sculpture, and has lectured throughout Scotland on the subject. After working for the National Trust
for Scotland for a decade, he now works for the University of Strathclyde in Estates Management.

This Website was built using
PHP
and as much help as I
could find from many sources:
- The fantastic, if I say so myself, little popup information boxes, are
created using the famous
overLIB,
copyright Erik Bosrup.
- Most of the photographs were taken using one of our
Fujifilm
digital cameras.
- Our trusty computer engineer was Rod Tacey, who has now returned home to Australia.
