A photo of a mural of Billy Connelly taken at an angle that seemas to show him reaching up to spin a ferris wheel in the square behind the mural.

Prudence and Adventure on the1906 National Bank of Scotland on St Enoch Square in Glasgow. They were created by Phyllis Archibald, the only female sculptor I know of whose work adorns an Edwardian or Victorian building in the city.

A pair of allegorical statues representing prudence and adventure on an Edwardian bank building in Glasgow.

Love this threshold mosaic on the former National Bank of Scotland on St Enoch Square in Glasgow, especially the very subtle intertwined leaves. It probably dates from when the building was constructed in 1906.

I love all the little Green Men that are all over James Miller's 1896 St Enoch Subway Station building in St Enoch Square in central Glasgow. It probably has more than any other building in the city.

Looking up at one of the pepperpot turrets on James Miller's rather glorious 1896 Saint Enoch Subway Station building in Glasgow. I especially like the green man style grotesques at its base.

Here's a though for a saturday morning: since there are plans to demolish the 1980s St Enoch Centre (left of shot), rather than replacing it with a bland, generic highrise structure, why not replace it with a new building which compliments the older traditional architecture of St Enoch Square (right) and turn this area back into the rather stunning civic space it once was?

A square in central Glasgow with one aide dominated by a 1980s generic looking and soulless shopping centre, and the other by rather stunning traditional Glasgow architecture.

The old (right) and the new (left) entrances to Saint Enoch Subway Station in Central Glasgow. Glasgow lost so many of its magnificent and unique buildings in the post-war years, but this is one which was saved, and it took an impressive feat of engineering to do, involving floating the whole structure on a concrete platform above a massive hole so the subway station beneath it could be completely re-built in the 1970s.

34/36 Saint Enoch Square in Glasgow. Originally built around 1860, it had a ground floor bank added in 1888 by Sydney Mitchell and Wilson. This was then reconstructed around 1931 by J. McCallum, which accounts for the Art Deco style detailing on an otherwise much older looking building.

A Green Man mask on James Miller's 1896 Saint Enoch Subway Station building in Glasgow. There seems to be a definite hint of mogwai about this one (the fictitious animals and not the band!).

Love this palmette Classical detailing above the entrance to 34 Saint Enoch Square in Glasgow.

Two female statues carved from blonde sandstone of the front of an old building. One is titled Adventure, the other is titled Prudence. Pigeons are roosting on thrse statues in a way that makes it look like the statues are holding them.

I love these Green Men carvings which are all over James Miller's 1904 Underground Station in Saint Enoch Square in Glasgow. They're one of those things which always makes me smile when I pass them.

The swept roof and ornate finial of one of the pepper pot corner turrets of former Underground Station in Saint Enoch Square in Glasgow. Designed in a Flemish Renaissance style by James Miller and constructed in 1896, this building is small, but it's still mightily impressive.
