Someone clearly got fed up with kids ringing their doorbell and then running away! This is on a rather grand townhouse in the West End of Glasgow.

I love this door bell on Greenbank House near Glasgow. The house itself is Georgian, but this is obviously more recent.

I've been in and out of Glasgow University's Graham Kerr Building, home to what was the Zoology Department when I was an undergrad, many times over the last 30 years, but it was only yesterday that I noticed this wonderful little detail of a snake on the handles of the outermost doors.

Separate side-by-side bells for Visitors and Servants at the entrance to a 1870s Townhouse on Athole Gardens in West End of Glasgow. The fact that even the door bells are more ornate for the visitors than the servants says something about the times these buildings were built in.

The entrance to John Honeyman's Early English style 1864 Saint Silas Episcopal Church on Eldon Street in the West End of Glasgow. Those hinges are seriously impressive!

A magnificently curvaceous hinge on the door of Alexander Petrie's 1880 Gothic style Partick East Free Chuch on Dowanhill Street in Glasgow

This gorgeously crafted bronze or brass door knob is another of the beautiful little details on J.J. Burnet's 1880s townhouses on University Gardens in Glasgow.

Glasgow Coat of Arms on brass finger plates plates on the doors of the city's 1907 Mitchell Library building.

I love how the one of the left has been worn smooth by more than a century's-worth of hands entering the building.

The right hand door also has a pull handle on it, so its finger plate has much less wear, meaning the original details are much more clearly visible.

Love this beautifully sinuous animalistic brass door pull on a Victorian townhouse in the west end of Glasgow. I've no idea if it's original or not, but it looks like it's been there for some time.
