Litter louts have once again left Kelvingrove Park covered in rubbish after another warm weekend in lockdown.
Pictures of the West End park taken on Monday morning revealed food packaging and bottles strewn around overflowing bins.
Louise Graham posted the pictures to social media, calling for "thoughtfulness" and "compassion".
She described the sight as "really disgusting and super sad."
Glasgow City Council has called on the public to take responsibility for their waste, stating it was a matter of "public duty" to take care of their rubbish.

A spokesman said: "The bottom line is that people have a public duty to put the waste they produce in a bin.
"If the first bin someone goes to is full, they should try another a bin or take their rubbish home.
"People do need to consider how much waste they are producing, whether they are acting in a sustainable way and what they can do to support public services at a challenging time."
The council believes it is not a matter of bin capacity that is leaving the park covered in waste.
A council spokesman added: "We have 40,000 litres of bin capacity in Kelvingrove as a matter of routine and we regularly add large bins on a temporary basis when required.
"Overall, there was plenty of spare capacity in the Kelvingrove at the weekend for people to dispose of their waste.

"All of the bins in the park are also serviced regularly and the scenes shown in the pictures will have been cleared early yesterday.

Similar sights greeted visitors just a few weeks ago after lockdown restrictions were changed to allow for sunbathing and limited meet-ups with others.
