The winged statue on the top of Govanhill and Crosshill Public Library in Glasgow. It was created by William Kellock Brown in the early 1900s.

Torridon Court in the Woodside area of Glasgow. Built in 1964, it's one of many multistorey flats constructed across Glasgow in that time period.

Father Clyde on a keystone above the Glasgow Coat of Arms on John Gibson's 1840s National Bank of Scotland Building (which is now Langside Halls).

The James Watt North Building on Glasgow University's Gilmorehill Campus. Designed by J.J. Burnet in a Scots Baronial style, it was originally built in 1901 to house the Engineering Department.

Love the stained glass in this Gothic style window of Clarke and Bell's 1881 Western Baths on Cranworth Street in Glasgow, even though the lowest section seems to feature a rather angry owl!

I love this view of James Miller's 1897 Caledonian Mansions standing high above the River Kelvin on the West End of Glasgow. On the left you can see where a train track once led to the old Kelvinbridge Railway Station, marked by an iron girder, which was connected to this building. This station closed in the 1950s.

Love this pair of semi-detatched late Victorian villas on Queen's Drive on the Southside of Glasgow. They're now used as part of a hotel.

I love this unusual-looking tenement building on the corner of Holyrood Crescent and Napiershall Street in the north of Glasgow, especially the arches around the windows and doors.

The former Hillhead Congregational Church on University Avenue in the West End of Glasgow. Dating from 1889, it was design in a French Gothic style by Hugh Barclay. It's now part of Glasgow University's Gilmorehill campus.

Ths statues around the entrance to the offices of the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in Govan. Sculpted by James Pittendrigh MacGillivary in 1890, they represent an Engineer (left) and a Shipwright (right). Above these two are a pair of mermaids (not clearly visible from this angle) and the head of a Viking Sea God wearing a winged helment.

The ornate gable on the former National Bank of Scotland building on the corner of Trongate and Glassford Street in Glasgow. Built in 1903, it was designed by Thomas P. Marwick in a Renaissance style.

A rather impressive ornamental crest in the opulent boardroom of J.J. Burnet's 1880s Clyde Navigation Trust building on Robertson Street in Glasgow.

You can never be too sure what you'll find in back courts and lanes behind a Glasgow tenement. In this case, it was an old stable block, possibly dating from as far back as the 1890s, behind some tenements on Hayburn Street in the Partick area of the city.

Partick Burgh Hall in the west of Glasgow looking very exotic against an early morning stunning sunrise in December 2024.

The entrance to the former Bridgeton Public Library on Landressey Street in the East End of Glasgow. Designed by J.R. Rhind and built in 1903, it's now home to the Glasgow Women's Library.

Globe and anchor sculpture, signifying Glasgow's global maritime trade, on the 1888 facade of the former South Branch of the Glasgow Savings Bank on Bridge Street. I think they're surrounded by oak branches, presumably indicating knowledge.

The former Clydesdale Colour and Oil Works on Cook Street in the Tradeston area of Glasgow. Designed by W.F. McGibbon in a Venetian Gothic style, it was built in 1900 for Blacklock and MacArthur.

An unusual French Renaissance style tenement building at Bridgeton Cross in Glasgow. Built in the 1870s to house a branch of the Glasgow Savings Bank, it was designed by John Burnet.

James Miller's gorgeous Glasgow Style Caledonian Mansions on Great Western Road in the West End of Glasgow. Built for Caledonian Railways in 1897, it stands directly above the former Kelvin Bridge Railway Station.

The tower on a Scots Baronial style Victorian warehouse on the corner of Albion Street and Trongate in central Glasgow. Designed by J.T. Rochead, it was built for the City of Glasgow Bank in 1854. I particularly like the thistle finial right at the very top.
