Love this variation on the polychromatic brick style of industrial building, using a mix of glazed and unglazed bricks. These windows are on the former sawmill offices on Craighall Road in Glasgow designed by George Bell and constructed in 1893.

The distinctive verdigris-covered spires of the former Jordanhill College of Education in the west of Glasgow. Designed by Hugh and David Barclay, it was built in 1913.

Some magnificent Classical detailing on the top of the entrance to the former Hillhead High School on Cecil Street in the West End of Glasgow. Designed by Hugh and David Barclay, it was built in 1883, and is a reminder that at this point the area fell under the control of the Govan Parish School Board

I love this hinge on D.B. Dobson's Art Nouveau masterpiece at 50 Darnley Street in Glasgow. At first it looks unexpectedly plain in comparison to the rest of the building, and then it hits you - it's a snake!

Part of the Brutalist Anderston Centre in Glasgow. Designed by Richard Seifert, it was an early example of the megastructure style of urban renewal popular in the 1950s and 60s. While it opened in 1972, it was never completed. It's size and design turned out to be problematic with its many walkways proving difficult to police. By the 1990s, much of it was partially derelict and several parts have since been demolished.

The lodge at the gateway to Maxwell Park on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed by H.E. Clifford, it was built in 1890, along with the neighbouring Pollokshields Burgh Hall.

It's great to see the scaffolding is finally off the Elder Park Library in the Govan area of Glasgow, and apparently it's scheduled to soon re-open. Designed in an Edwardian Baroque style by J.J. Burnet, it was built in 1902 with funding from Isabella Elder. It was opened by the Scottish-American Steel Magnate Andrew Carnegie, who himself was no stranger to funding the construction of new libraries.

I love this unusual-looking tenement building on the corner of Holyrood Crescent and Napiershall Street in the north of Glasgow, especially the arches around the windows and doors.
