A CITY primary pupil has won the contest to design a mascot for Glasgow.
Fynn Mackie, from St Conval’s Primary in Shawlands took the top prize for his creation of a Lion.
Lord Provost Jacqueline McLaren, launched the competition to promote civic pride when she hosted the city's P7 pupils at the City Chambers.
Talented Fynn was rewarded with a return trip to the City Chambers after his professional-looking design was judged the winner by the Lord Provost, former Chief executive Annmarie O’Donnell, and Glasgow artist, Gerard Burns.
Fynn’s winning entry captured aspects of the city’s history, culture and heritage.
His lion wears tartan trews, a People Make Glasgow t-shirt and a jacket with the individual elements of the coat of arms down one side where buttons might be.
The cleverly designed jacket has the bird, bell, tree, and the fish.
One of Glasgow’s most famous sons, Billy Connolly is also referenced with the mascot wearing the comedian's iconic banana boots.
