Fossil Grove, Victoria Park, Glasgow
Glasgow's most ancient attraction.  These are the 300 million year old fossilised remains of an extinct plant called giant clubmoss.  They were discovered in 1887 when a quarry was being landscaped as part of the creation of Victoria Park.  A building was erected over them and they have become a favourite attraction ever since.  They can be viewed free of charge from April to September. [url=http://www.glasgowmuseums.com/venue/visiting_us.cfm?venueid=2]Opening times[/url]
