Our photographer Gordon Terris visited Kelvingrove Park on Thursday to capture the stunning scenes.
The arrival of the beautiful pink flowers in springtime has been celebrated by people in Japan for hundreds of years, with annual festivals held to mark the occasion.
Discussing the iconic cherry blossom recently, The Times newspaper said: “The Japanese have celebrated the arrival of sakura, or cherry blossom, and the associated coming of spring for centuries — and plenty of other countries have caught on.
“Festivals are now held in honour of the delicate pink and white petals all over the world, with many nationalities following the Japanese custom of picnicking with friends and family beneath the canopy.
“The flowers are here for one or two weeks only, so catch them before they’re gone.”
