The Tolbooth Steeple at Glasgow Cross. Dating from 1634, it's all that remains of the original Tolbooth building, most of which was demolished in 1921.

I love the shape of this terminal pavilions on Victoria House in the Govanhill area of Glasgow. Dating from around 1900, it was once the home of A.F Reid and Sons Bakers. In 1909, this bakery was considered one of the most modern in the whole of Glasgow.

A fantastic set of three Thomsoneseque attic windows on Shields Road on the Southside of Glasgow. I love the shape of the space created between them, which somehow seems just as solid as the surrounding stone.

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!

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.

A former bank building at Bridgeton Cross in the East End if Glasgow. It was constructed in 1894 from a design by John Gordon (although the date on the Landressy Street elevation says 1900). I love the roofline created by the chimneys on this building.
