Evening Times: The medieval ruins of the Francisan Friary have been discovered near the site

new Science Project, to be built in downtown Glasgow, from disturbing the ruins
of a 16th century Franciscan monastery. So far, researchers have found 21
skeletons, the foundations of buildings, and an ancient well.
"It is very exciting that a treasure like this could be unearthed in the very heart of a big city like Glasgow," said head archaeologist, Magnar Dallard. The 500-year-old well will be restored and become the centerpiece of the new project. To read more, click on the header. |
