Òran Mór in the West End of Glasgow at 4:11pm on the last Sunday afternoon in November. This former church was designed by J.J. Stevenson in an Italianate Gothic style and was built in the 1860s. It's now a popular arts venue and bar.

The former Trinity Congregational Church on Claremont Street in the West End of Glasgow. Designed in Gothic style by John Honeyman, it was built in 1864. In 1979, it became home to the Scottish National Orchestra after its previous home, the nearby St Andrew's Halls, burned down in 1962. At this point, the church was renamed the Sir Henry Wood Hall after one of the UK's most famous conductors.

Incomplete painted glass window in Victorian Govan Old Parish church in Glasgow. Just enough survives in the one remaining panel to make you curious about what the others used to show to complete the picture.

The former Pollokshields West Church on the corner of Nithsdale Road and Shields Road on the Southside of Glasgow. Built in the 1870s, it has a distinctly Thomsonesque look, but was designed by W.G. Rowan.

I love a set of windows which climb a wall with the internal stairs! These are on a former church in the Maryhill area of Glasgow.

While I haven't been able to find any evidence to support it, there are also claims that he was the uncle of William Webb Ellis, the English public schoolboy credited with inventing the sport of rugby (although that, too, is probably more legend than truth).

Along with his business partner William Bleaymire, he was a member of the Glasgow East India Association, which lobbied against the renewal of the British East India Company Charter in 1812 and 1829 in order to open up trade to the the Bitish colonies in Asia.

A plot marker for the wonderfully named Septimus Ellis in the churchyard of the former St Andrew's By the Green on Greendyke Street in Glasgow. Septimus was born 1762 and died in 1849, so the date of 1811 is most likely the date he acquired the plot rather than when he was buried there.

The simple, but rather beautiful, Woodlands Methodist Church on Woodlands Road in the West End of Glasgow. Constructed in a plain Gothic style in 1907, this was one of the last buildings designed by David Barclay. It was originally built as a Swedenborgian Church.
