New flats overlooking the Firhill Basin in the north of Glasgow. Along with the narrow boats berthed below, their tall, gabled and colourful design give this stretch of the Forth and Clyde Canal a distinctly Dutch feel. I doubt this is the type of image which comes to mind when many people think of Glasgow.

Love this photo I took today of a swan on the frozen Forth and Clyde Canal at Firhill in Glasgow. Swans are large enough to break through the relatively thin ice, and you can see the broken shards floating around it, disrupting its reflection.

Love this rather unusual gushet tenement on the corner of Panmure Street and Firhill Road in the north of Glasgow. The octagonal column of corner oriel windows is particularly eye-catching.

This is an unusual style of townhouse for Glasgow. Built on Burnbank Gardens in the 1860s, it's described as having Moorish style details, which I think refers, in part, to the arched bay windows separated by column and topped by decorative stonework.

Love this little bit of public art which is currently being installed at the Firhill Basin on the Forth and Clyde Canal in the north of Glasgow.

The Nolly Brig over the Forth and Clyde Canal by Firhill Stadium in Glasgow, with its mural inspired by Charles Rennie MacKintosh's 1922 water colour called Sailing Ships. The bridge was built with European Regional Development Fund (from the EU) and was opened in 1990. The mural was added in 2019 by Art Pistol Projects.
