The remnants of Pollokshields-Glencairn Church on Shields Road. Designed by W.G. Rowan and built in 1891, it was destroyed by a fire in 1988. This fragment, with its impressively sculptured arch, was salvaged and re-built in a reduced form in the grounds of a modern housing development built in its place. Almost hidden by trees, few passing on Sheilds Road will notice it.
The former Pollokshields West Church on Shields Road on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed by W.G. Rowan and built in the late 1870s, it bears a striking resemblence to Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's 1850s Saint Vincent Street Church in the city centre, especially the square corner tower.
Saint Paul's Church on Dumbarton Road in the Whiteinch area of Glasgow. Designed in a Basilican-type style by Reginald Fairlie and Partners, it was built in the late 1950s and features stained glass by Gabriel Loire of Chartres.
The ornate gable of the former Cathcart Free Church (now Cathcart Trinity Church) on Clarkston Road in Glasgow. Designed by W.G. Rowan in a Gothic style, it was built in 1893.
The former Belhaven UP Church (now the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Luke) in the West End of Glasgow. Built in 1876, it was designed in a Normandy Gothic style by James Sellars.
The former Saint Vincent Parish Church on Kent Road in Glasgow looking wonderful amongst the cherry blossoms. Designed by Alexander Wall in a Gothic style, it was built in 1864.
A wonderfully shaped roof vent on Cathcart Trinity Church on Clarkston Road in Glasgow. Designed by W.G. Rowan in a Gothic style, it was built in 1893.
Our Lady of Assumption on Bilsland Drive in the Ruchill area of Glasgow. Designed by Thomas S. Cordiner, it was built in the 1950s, which must make it one of the last churches in the city built with red sandstone.
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, it was the last Classical style church constructed in Glasgow.
The former Cathcart Free Church (now Cathcart Trinity Church) on Clarkston Road in Glasgow. Designed by W.G. Rowan in a Gothic style, it was built in 1893.
I love the symmetry of these roman-arched doors on the 1860s Italian Palazzo Cinquecento style former East Campbell Street United Presbyterian Church just off Gallowgate in the East End of Glasgow.
One of Glasgow's surprising number of Classical Temple style churches on Duke Street in the East End of the city. Originally built as the Sydney Place United Presbyterian Church, it was designed by Peddie and Kinnear, and was built in the 1850s.
The former Camphill United Presbyterian Chuch (now the Queen's Park Baptist Church) in Glasgow. Designed by William Leiper in the 1870s and completed in 1883, it also features sculptures by one of the Mossmans.
Sculptures of Love (top), Faith (lower left) and Hope (lower right) on the 1899 Art Nouveau style hall of Saint Andrew's East Church on Alexandra Parade in Glasgow. Between the three figures is an inscription which says "Greatest of these is love", a sentiment that's as true today as it was when it was carved.
The distinctive tower of the former Strathbungo Parish Church rising above the surrounding buildings on the Southside of Glasgow. Built in 1886, it was designed by J. MacKissack in a mix of Romanesque and Gothic styles.
Saint Ninian's Church in the Knightswood area of Glasgow. Built in a restrained Gothic style in the late 1950s, this was one of the final churches designed by Charles H. Purcell, the last surviving member of the legendary ecclesiastical Gothic architects Pugin and Pugin which operated from 1851 until 1958.
Saint Margaret's Church on Great Western Road in the Knightswood area of Glasgow. Designed by J.F. Matthew in a Gothic style, it was built in 1931, which I find surprisingly recent for this style of church.
