   @Infoseepage Me, too. However, I've yet to find any hitching posts or horse mounting blocks around Glasgow. 👍🙂

     Bootscarpers of Pollokshields in Glasgow. These pieces of street furniture would have once been found at the entrance to most town houses and many tenement closes.

     @Infoseepage It may well be that they still exist, and it's just I haven't got my eye in for finding them yet. I know this has happened with other things before, and once you finally spot one, you start seeing them everywhere! 😀

     There’s a loupin-on stane at Duddingston Kirk in Edinburgh. Also rings in the wall but they could be for recalcitrant humans!

     I’m sure there used to be a hitching post at Tollcross in Edinburgh.
