In the old Glasgow University campus which used to reside on the High Street in the city centre, there was a well known staircase called, as you may have guessed, the Lion and Unicorn staircase. When the university was moved to its current location, parts of the old university were moved - such as the main gates and this staircase. And just today I discovered where it was - just beyond the beautiful memorial chapel!

That is so strange and awesome that they MOVED a staircase! Only in the UK, right?
