With travel chaos raging right now, we thought we’d answer the big question at the forefront of everyone’s minds.
… how the devil was the bus stop sign made?
At the Foundry of course! As illustrated here with our fantastic #FoundryCollection
#IronworkThursday #BusStop #metal
We just accepted this cast iron column by the Lion Foundry into our fantastic #foundrycollection
It’s an interior support columns from the former Lairdsland School building, and we were very excited 🤓 to identify the matching pattern already in our collection!

We had a fantastic #behindthescenes viewing this week at our new Foundry Collection store.
Photos coming soon! In the meantime, here’s a flashback to moving day back in January.

Can anyone else believe it’s May already?
When we first started the Foundry Collection project almost a year ago, we thought we had around 1000 objects. We now know it’s at least 4000!

Have you seen this lovely crown but in cast iron?
This plaster panel is one of many skilfully crafted patterns & samples in our #foundrycollection.
We suspect it has something to do with the Lion Foundry…

Can you tell us what this is for? 🤔
Big shiny gold star for the correct answer!

Ever wondered how one might make a gutter more regal? 👑
Fear not! Just pop a lion on it. 🦁 I mean why wouldn’t you? Especially if you are none other than the Lion Foundry.

It’s officially spring on Sunday! (Took your time eh #spring)
We’re singing a spring song, doing a spring dance, and hunting for four leaf clovers amongst the beautiful #flowers and leaves adorning the #FoundryCollection.

Can anyone guess what this cast iron beauty was designed for?
It’s featured here in an 1895 Lion Foundry catalogue.
Comment your guesses!
You may need to fetch the smelling salts when you see the answer …..

It's #WorldBookDay and as much as we like objects at the Auld Kirk Museum, we also love books! We thought this extract from Bleak House was perfectly fitting while we catalogue our fantastic #FoundryCollection.

Time for another Thursday treat! Some more sneak peeks of the Foundry collection in its new store…
(And a fairly accurate reflection of the museum store Tetris we’ve been playing whilst trying to organise everything in there)

We're at the #LillieArtGallery for a change this #IronworkThursday to see the James Gilmour photography exhibition.
We might be biased but the team working on our #FoundryCollection rather like this atmospheric image of @LaingsFoundry taken in 2012. 🔥

Some sneak peaks of the Foundry collection to brighten your Thursday…
🌬🌧 We battled bracing winds and sordid sleet yesterday to get our hands on all this cold old cast iron.
We’re just that excited about the collection in its new store!

🔈Full Volume!
It’s nearly Christmas 🎄⭐️🎅🎁
So we thought we’d treat you to a brilliant little story by Wilson.
Here he is telling us about the moulders at a foundry he used to work at.

We’re feeling festive here on the #FoundryCollection project.
It’s the time of year for family, and in this clip you can hear May sharing lovely memories of her father and grandfather who both worked in the foundries.

A big thank you to everyone who came to see us at the Kirky Puffer on Saturday.
We had a wonderful time showing off the #foundrycollection together with some canal and puffer objects.
We particularly enjoyed seeing who could lift the giant spanner from a puffer engine room!
🍏We’re celebrating #appleday this autumn at the #AuldKirkMuseum.🍎
If you’re struggling to lift a cast iron pan of caramelised apples today... spare us a thought while we catalogue our fascinating but extreeemely heavy #foundrycollection.
This museum has muscle!
More from our fantastic #foundrycollection! This chap was a ‘dresser’ at Southbank Iron works, formerly Star Foundry, in #Kirkintilloch. The dresser, aka fettler, was responsible for removing sand from castings & chipping off any irregularities.
