These ghost signs are carved into the gateposts of the former Haghill Public School in the East End of Glasgow. When it was built in 1904, all public schools in Glasgow were required to have separate entrances for boys and girls, and many also had separate entrances for infants. Designed by A. Lindsay Miller, the school was demolished in 2022, but the gateposts remain standing, and will hopefully be incorporated into the affordable housing planned for the site. The font used for these signs is very distinct, and is unique to this school. This was by no means unusual for Glasgow schools, and many had their own unique font for such signs.

The print itself is 7.25 inches by 9 inches (18.5 cm by 23cm), and it comes mounted in a white 1.5 inch (3.5 cm) mount with a total size of 10 inches by 12 inches (25.5 cm by 30.5cm).
