Inside a chapel built of brown bricks, directly facing a wall with, at bottom, a large carved marble facade in a gothic architectural motif with a large arch at center. Inside the arch is a display containing the grail. Near the top of the brown brick wall above is a stained glass window roundel depicting the grail.Closeup of the grail: a gold chalice with handle, inside a glass case inside a larger gold and glass display.

A rather beautiful stained glass window by John Clark creates in 1997 for the National Piping Centre in Glasgow. It's mounted below a cupula at the top of a staircase in the former Victorian church and shows Scottish folk dance in progress. The background is translucent, rather than blue, but here you can see the blue of the twilight sky above it.

Love this stained glass on Ross's Original Bar on Mitchell Street in Glasgow. It's housed in Gordon Chambers which was designed by Burnet, Boston and Carruthers, and was built in 1905. I presume this is also when the stained glass dates from.

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.

A painted glass church window made of four panels which come together to show a complete picture.  The first shows part of a window shows a bearded head and the tip of a golden wing. The other three panels have been replaced by plain glass.

I've often thought there is a rather beautiful coffee table book to be written about the decorative stained glass of Glasgow's pubs.

A rather wonderful decorative window in Tennent's Bar on Byres Road in the West End of Glasgow. At least some of its panels were created by Stephen Adam, an influential glass designer and a pioneer of modern stained glass in Scotland. While his work can be found in a number of buildings around the city, this is one of the few that is still in the public realm.

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!

Modern stained glass in the Lismore pub in the Partick area of Glasgow. It's one of a series of windows which depict traditional Highland life and its destruction during the Highland Clearances of the late 18th Century. The bullseye glass in the window at the back is a particularly nice detail.

Wide, pointed-arched stained glass window divided into four vertical registers, each depicting a bishop or male saint in ecclesiastical garb. Below each one is a smaller register depicting some action scene, e.g. a man writing, a man blacksmithing, etc.
