Yes, those are ice skate, and yes, those are shorts. But this is 1956, when if the weather was cold you just walked - or skated - faster to keep warm rather than reach for the latest cosy fleece or down jacket. And this girl seems quite happy with the gear she has to go skating in Maxwell Park, Glasgow, around 70 years after Sir John Stirling Maxwell gifted a section of his Pollok Estate for its creation. It required quite a bit of work to drain the low lying former agricultural acreage, but that allowed for the water to be diverted to the pond that skaters could use when the weather became cold enough. The park was officially opened at the same time as Pollokshields Burgh Hall in 1890.
