The former Hide, Skin and Tallow Market on Greendyke Street overlooking Glasgow Green. Built in the 1890s and designed by Honeyman and Keppie, it was converted to flats in 2000. #glasgow #architecture #glasgowbuildings #architecturephotography #symmetry #glasgowgreen

@Beverle51995260 I know what you mean, but that's the bridge heading into Glasgow Central which is further downstream. This one hasn't carried passenger trains since St Enoch Statuon closed.

A Thomsoneque style townhouse on Lynedoch Street in the West End of Glasgow. As the name of the gates suggests, this was once home to the Park School for Girls. It's since been converted to residential flats. #glasgow #architecture #glasgowbuildings #architecturephotography

@DyslexicFeet It was used by them, yes, but it also connected to various train yards on the north side of the river which are now long gone. Currently, it's used to move rolling stock around the network (including between Central and Queen Street).

I only recently noticed the bat-winged grotesque on this intricate panel of the 1887 Doulton Fountain on Glasgow Green. It's a rather weird and wonderful little extra detail which has no obvious link to the rest of the fountain's design. #glasgow #grotesque #glasgowgreen

The Glasgow Science Centre complex on Pacific Quay. It is just me, or does something seem a little inappropriate about it when seen from this angle? #glasgow #glasgowsciencecentre #architecture #architecturephotography #glasgowtower #modernarchitecture

Crannogs consisted of a round house constructed on a manmade island in lochs, marshes or intertidal zones. In this case, a circle of wooden posts were sunk into the sand and the internal space was filled with rocks and silt to create the base on which the house was then be built.

Birdcatchers by David Ralston above the entrance to new-build low rise housing on Queen Elizabeth Gardens in the Gorbals area of Glasgow. I realise these won't be to everyone's taste, but I really like them in a steampunk kind of way. #glasgow #gorbals #sculpture #steampunk

It replaced an earlier bridge built in 1864. This was the first railway bridge across the Clyde in Glasgow and it allowed trains coming in from the southwest of Scotland to travel into the heart of the city for the first time. #glasgow #architecture #bridge #railway

The West Boat House on Glasgow Green. Designed by A.B. McDonald, it was built in 1905. Having fallen into a state of dispair, a renovation project was initiated in 2019 and it re-opened in 2023. #glasgow #architecture #riverclyde #boathouse #glasgowgreen #architecturephotography
