Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's Buck's Head buildings of 1863 on Argyle Street, Glasgow. It's good to see that the letters on the front of the building have been reinstated.

Glasgow Cross at midnight on 31st Dec 1920. The statue of William of Orange, now located in Cathedral precinct, is illuminated a ghostly grey by the photographer's bulb as an animated crowd gathers to hear the bells of the Tolbooth steeple.

I took advantage of the sunny weather today to get some shots of the fire-damaged roof at the former Scottish Legal Life Assurance building of 1889 that's now home to the Revolver Hotel and Polo Lounge night club.

A fantastic late 1960s view of the north rotunda, designed by Simpson and Wilson, and built between 1890-96 by the Glasgow Harbour Tunnel Company. They covered 80ft shafts to tunnels which enabled vehicular and pedestrian access to the other side of the river.

Three kids playing in a Partick back court, some time in the 1950s. From the tenement windows and what looks like a church to the right, I suspect it might be the block bounded by White, Stewartville, Lawrie, and Gardner Streets.

Winter comes to Queen's Park in this brilliant photograph by follower Colin Duncan, probably around 1968 or 1969. The boating pond has frozen solid, prompting kids and adults alike to take to the ice.

Looking south through the John St arch. The archway connects the original Glasgow City Chambers (built 1882-1890) to the eastern wing which was added 1914-1923. Both the arch and the new wing were designed by Watson, Salmond & Gray.

An image I find myself returning to every Christmas. Long shadows and fairy lights at Glasgow Central, Christmas 1964. Captured by the inimitable Oscar Marzaroli who was waiting for, and found, the magic that day.

For many years, the Glasgow Central Christmas tree had a model railway that went around the base of the tree. This magical shot from 1963 by the always brilliant Duncan McCallum gives us a close up view in brilliant colour.
