The Glasgow University Union on University Avenue in Glasgow. Designed in a Free Baronial style by Arthur and McNaughton, and built in 1929, it looks more like a fortress than student union.

Not the turrets and chimneys of a fairytale castle peeking above the trees in a remote Scottish woodland, but the James Watt North Building, originally home to the Engineering Department of Glasgow University, as seen from the nearby Kelvin Way. Designed in a Scots Baronial style by J.J. Burnet with J. Oldrid Scott, it was built in the early 1900s.

Looking out across Glasgow this morning from the base of the Queen's Park flag pole. For some reason, the main buildings of Glasgow University (in the distancr on the left hand side) were particularly visible today.

The castle-like entrance to the Glasgow University Student Union building on University Avenue. It was designed by Alan McNaughton in a Free Scots Baronial style and constructed in 1930. This is one of two student unions at the university, each their own distinct characterisics and communities.

A sunfish mural on the side of the Chemistry building of Glasgow University where it faces the Zoology building across a narrow lane. Sunfish are the largest bony fish in the world, and can reach the size, and weight, of a small car. In the warmer summer months, they can occassionally be found off the West Coast of Scotland.

3. Talk to the locals: As the slogan says, People Make Glasgow, and Glaswegians are generally a friendly bunch. If you're lost, they'll happily give you directions. If you want to know more about something, they'll happily tell you. Of course, it might not be completely accurate (or even remotely correct!), but Glaswegians never let a little thing like the truth get in the way of telling a good story!

With the universities starting up again for another academic year, here's three bits of advice for those who are new to Glasgow:
1. Always look up: Glasgow has some amazing architecture, but you have to look up to really appreciate it.
2. Avoid getting stuck in a university bubble: Glasgow is an amazing city, but you have explore it to truly appreciate it, so make sure you get out and see as much of it as possible.

Westdel on Queen's Place in the Hyndland area of Glasgow. Designed by George Washington Browne, it was built in 1890 for Robert MacLehose, who ran the Glasgow University Press and whose initials are inscirbed on its date plaque. At one time, Westdel had a bedroom designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh, but this is now in the University's collections.
