Did kaddish for the #HaymarketMartyrs at #Langside shul. May the bridges we burn together light our way through the darkness. Hurrah for Anarchy. #Judaism

Love these blonde sandstone tenements stretching down Battlefield Road on the Southside of Glasgow.

Love this amusing little plaque on the Battlefield Road electric substation in Langside in Glasgow. I have no idea who's responsible for this, but it's been there since at least 2019.

Love the projecting column of bow windows, topped by a candle-snuffer roof, on this tenement on Millbrae Road in the Battlefield area of Glasgow.

I came across this absolutely stunning example of a painted glass window today in the communal stairwell of a red sandstone tenement in the Langside area of Glasgow.

Love this corner tenement on Tantallon Road on the Southside of Glasgow, especially the broad, overhanging eaves, although I'm not so sure about the design of the guttering.

The Corona Bar on the corner of Langside Avenue and Pollokshaws Road on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed by Clarke and Bell, and built in 1912, it's one of quite a large number of surprisingly ornamental 'turn-of-the-century' public houses across the city.

Multi-coloured terraced houses on Blairhall Avenue on the Southside of Glasgow.

Allegorical figures of Commerce and Plenty on either side of the Royal Coat of Arms sculpted by John Thomas above the entrance to Langside Halls in Glasgow. Designed by John Gibson, the halls were originally built as a bank on Queen Street in Central Glasgow before being moved to its current location 1901.

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.

I love this bat under one of the magnificent oriel windows of the former Institite for the Deaf and Dumb on Prospecthill Road in Glasgow.

The Greek Revival masterpiece (mixed with Egyptian motifs) that is Millbrae Crescent in Langside in Glasgow.

An Oor Wullie sculpture from 2019's Big Bucket Trail outside the Church on the Hill on Algie Street on the Southside of Glasgow.

The personifications of five great British rivers created by John Thomas in 1847 for the building now known as Langside Halls in Glasgow. The Clyde is in the middle (crowned by two fish with rings in their mouths), while the other rivers represented are thought to be the Thames, the Severn, the Tweed and the Humber.

Tenement bay windows on Grange Road on the Southside of Glasgow. I love the repeating pattern that these windows make as you look down a line of such buildings.

Love this central roof on the French Gothic style former Glasgow Instititue for the Deaf and Dumb on Prospecthill Road, especially the little creature nestled in its eaves. The building was designed by Salmon, Son and Ritchie, and was constructed in 1867.

In the 2000s, it was converted into residential flats. However, it remains one of the best examples of French Gothic architecture in Glasgow.

Queen Mary's troops were defeated, and she fled south to England, where she was imprisoned and eventually executed by her cousin, Queen Elizabeth in 1587. The monument was erected to mark the 300th anniversary of her death.

One of the four rather wonderfully sculpted eagles on the Battlefield Monument in Glasgow. Designed by Alexander Skirving with sculptures by James Young, it was erected in 1887, and it commemorates the Battle of Langside between the army of Mary, Queen of Scots and that of the Earl of Moray, which took place nearby in 1568.

Two of Alexander Skirving's best known works in Glasgow: the Langside Hill Church, built in the 1890s, and the Battlefield Monument, erected in 1887. A one-time apprentice and devotee of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson, Skirving was also a talented architect in his own right.
