SCORES of Glaswegians flocked to a West End park to show off their skating skills.
Locals young and old were spotted in Victoria Park as they made the most of its frozen pond this morning.
Ice skaters, ice hockey players and even dogs were all pictured on a day where temperatures plummeted.
It comes just hours after council staff broke-up ice on the pond in Queen's Park, in the South Side, after a 12-year-old boy fell through the frozen water yesterday.
Earlier this winter, Police Scotland chief superintendent David Duncan, encouraged people to stay safe near waterways.
He said: "Winter, and the festive period, brings increased demands on all the emergency services, and the partner organisations which work alongside the blue light services.

"With the current restrictions on travel and socialising as a result of coronavirus, more people may be out walking in their local areas than might usually be, as well as exploring new locations.
“The best advice is to avoid open water, be it frozen or not, and don't put yourself, your children or your pets at risk. It's impossible to tell how thick ice is at a glance, and water temperatures beneath broken ice can quickly make someone hypothermic. Please, stay safe near water this winter."
