Carmunnock Parish Church in Glasgow. Rebuilt in the 1760s, it's possibly based on a pre-reformation religious site. The main entrance is through the small door under the stairs, while the stairs themselves lead up to one of the upper galleries.

Modern stained glass in Sherbrooke Mosspark Parish Church. The original Victorian stained glass was destroyed in a fire in 1994. This beautiful replacement was made by Susan Bradbury of the Stained Glass Design Partnership of Kilmaurs.

The former Queen's Park Free Church on Albert Avenue on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed in a nave-and-aisles gothic style by James Thomson, it was built in the 1870s. Still in ecclesiastical use, it's now known as the Queen's Park Govanhill Parish Church.

The gothic style St Helen's Church on Deanston Drive on the Southside of Glasgow. Built in 1896, it was designed by John Bennie Wilson. His original design included a 130 foot spire, but this was never constructed.

The magnificent main entrance to Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church in the west end of Glasgow. I paritcularly like the nested gothic arches around the doors and the massive wheel window above them.

Somewhat ironically, the 26th of December is also known as St Setphen's day, and the storm's name? It was Hurricane Stephen.

The Renfield Saint Stephen's church on Bath Street in central Glasgow. Designed by John T. Emmet in an early English Gothic style, it was built around 1850.
On Boxing Day in 1998, when an Atlantic storm passed over the city, bringing with it winds of up to 100 miles per hour, the spire collapsed, badly damaging the rest of the church below, but it was later re-built.

The former Langside Hill Church on the Southside of Glasgow. One of my favourite churches in the city, it was designed by Alexander Skirving. Dating from 1894, this was the last Classical style church constructed in Glasgow.

Broomhill Hyndland Parish Church in the west of Glasgow this morning. I hate to say it, but with the berries already ripe on the trees, and a slight chill in the air, there was definitely a hint of the approaching autumn at the start of today.

This is a rather unusual set of dormer windows on the Toryglen Parish Church in Glasgow, which was built in the 1950s.

Love the symmetry of the Battlefield East Church (now the Clincarthill Parish Church) on Cathcart Road in Glasgow. Built in 1911, it was designed by J. Gait.

The hall of Battlefield East Church on Cathcart Road on the Southside of Glasgow. Originally built as the church itself in 1865, its unusual design, with its semi-circular eastern end, is an early work by John Honeyman. It was replaced by the neighbouring red sandstone church in 1911, but remained in use as the church hall.

Love this spirelet on Saint Mungo's Church in the Townhead area of Glasgow, with fish-scale bands and topped by an ornate iron cross with a rather unusual heart-shaped nimbus. The church was built in 1841 in an Italianate Gothic style from a design by George Goldie.
