A shame to hear that Robert Duvall has left us at the age of 95. Famed for legendary turns in The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, he also found his way to Scotland where he played opposite Ally McCoist in "A Shot At Glory".

The Kibble Palace in Glasgow's west end. Originally designed for John Kibble by architects James Boucher and James Cousland for his home at Coulport on Loch Long in the 1860s, the components were cast by Walter Macfarlane at his Saracen Foundry in Possilpark.

This week's Friday pub is The Gallery at 203 Buchanan St. A perennial Subcrawl stop, it was known for many years as the Dow Jones, and also went by Butler's and the Pig and Firkin in the 80s. It was lost during the redevelopment of the upper section of Buchanan St from 2010.

If you're fed up with your work, it could always be worse. Spare a thought for this intrepid window cleaner, 6 floors up on the Central Hotel in Hope St, with only the steadying hand of his female colleague between him and oblivion.

Looking down into Hope St from high up in the Central Hotel, back in 1969. The dome of the Clyde Navigation Trust building is visible above the rooftops on the left, while down on the street we have the Norseman Bar (now the Solid Rock) and the Gondola restaurant.

Queen's Park Secondary School as it looked during the early 1980s. The school was built by the Cathcart Parish School Board and was accommodated in four buildings the earliest of which opened in 1874.

Robert Billings' dramatic, 1854 baronial warehouse for J & W Campbell, on the corner of Ingram and Brunswick Streets. It was dismantled from within and the façade retained when, in 1988, it became one of the first successful developments in the "Merchant City".

This week's Friday pub is the Scotia Bar on Stockwell St. One of a few howfs laying claim to being Glasgow's oldest pub, it dates from 1792. In early years it was popular with workers & seamen from the docks & shipyards, and passengers from nearby ferries.

It's 1968 and we're looking south along North St with the Mitchell Library on the right. This scene would be radically altered that same year, as the M8 was gouged through the city, obliterating the buildings on the left.

St Enoch's Parish Church once stood slap bang in the middle of St Enoch Square. The first church, designed by James Jaffray, was erected in 1780 but was rebuilt to a David Hamilton design in 1827, with Hamilton incorporating the original spire.
