I love this column of near-circular bay windows on a red sandstone tenement on the corner of Montague Street and West Princes Street in the Woodlands area of Glasgow.

Love this cast iron ornamental lamp bracket on the bridge between Holmlea and Cathcart in Glasgow, especially the paintwork. Dating from 1901 (when the bridge was built), it was made by W. MacFarlane and Co's Saracen Foundry in the north of the city. There's a pair of them on the bridge, one on each side of the road, and just think how impressive they'd look if they were tastefully restored.

Blonde sandstone 1840s warehouse on the corner of Trongate and King Street in central Glasgow. Designed by J.T. Rochead, it features a sculpted cornucopia on its pediment accompanied by the words The Buchanan Society's Property A.D. 1849. The Buchanan Society was founded in 1725 as '"The Buchanan's Charity, Kept At Glasgow". This makes it the world's oldest society linked to a specific Scottish clan.

Love the rather striking design of this tiled tenement close in the Govanhill area of Glasgow.

An Edwardian Baroque commerical building on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. Built in 1904, it was designed by John Keppie. Keppie trained under James Sellars and Archibald Campbell Douglas, as well as at the Glasgow School of Art and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. He would later become one of the key mentors of the man who would go on to become one of the city's most famous architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
