Provand’s Lordship aka the oldest house in Glasgow, dates from 1471. It has a ‘new’ look - back to its authentic 15th century appearance with a lime harling render. Reported £1.5 million restoration. Supposed to be opening soon. What do you think of the ‘new’ look?

Hand painted windows above each door to flats in Kennyhill Sq, Dennistoun. Each door has a different painted lady. They are exquisite! Curiously, there is a close in Broomhill that has the exact same ladies, doors and ironmongery. Must have been the same tenement developer.

The Ladywell, 139 Barrack St, Glasgow at the corner with Duke St opposite Tennent’s Brewery. It was originally the ground floor of a 4 storey tenement. Legend has it that there is a pipe direct from the brewery so it serves the freshest pint of Tennent’s of any pub in the world.

An Gorta Mór. The Great Hunger. Sculpture at St Mary’s, Calton. The famine caused over 1 million deaths in Ireland & caused another million to flee. One in ten of those who left made their way to Glasgow. This Sculpture by John McCarron is a lasting tribute.

Sighthill Bridge referred to as ‘The Rusty Bridge’ that spans the M8. It’s made from Corten steel which forms a rust like appearance & eliminates the need for painting. From the motorway it looks like an old rust bucket BUT up close it really does look quite beautiful!

The Steamie, Whitevale Baths, Camlachie, Glasgow. Built in 1901 it had separate men & women’s swimming pools, hot baths, showers & Steamie with 66 washing stalls. The men’s pool could be drained to create a 500 seater concert venue. I remember going to it in the 1980s!
