Lately, I've been developing a bit of an obsession with the animals you can find in Glasgow's architecture. This is a particularly good one. It's above the door of the Stack & Still on West George Street. #glasgow #animals #architecture #cats #sculpture @stackandstill

I started today with a Glasgow sunrise, so I thought I'd end it with a Glasgow sunset. It wasn't taken this evening, but rather a few weeks back when the sky was clear and the Clyde was mirror-calm. #glasgow #sunset #glasgowsunset #squintybridge #reflections #bridge #theclyde

By far my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in Glasgow, and possibly anywhere in the world! It can be found on D.B. Dobson's 1902 Art Nouveau commercial building at 50 Darnley Street in Glasgow. #glasgow #ironwork #dragon #architecture #glasgowbuildings #pollokshields

Glasgow University is 572 years old today. This means that when it was founded in 1451, the Aztec Empire still ruled Mexico, the Incas still ruled Peru and the last remaining part of the Roman Empire (the Byzantine Empire) still ruled modern day Turkey. #glasgow @UofGlasgow

Janefield Cottage, 49 Otago Street, Glasgow. Overlooking the River Kelvin and dating from around 1840, this villa is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Hillhead. #glasgow #architecture #buildings #cottageorn é #glasgowbuildings #glasgowarchitecture #hillhead #riverkelvin

Every now and then I come across a road sign which raises more questions than it answers. This is one such sign I spotted today in Bowling just to the west of Glasgow. #glasgow #bowling #A82 #roadsigns #weirdsigns #ignoresatnav #strangesigns #satnav #sign #signofthetimes
