Another of the pair of 1770s tenements on Gallowgate in Glasgow. Unlike later tenements in the city, they're largely built from brick, covered with harling, rather than stone.

This is a brilliant piece of street art I came across on Scott Street in the Garnethill areq of Glasgow. Using the Artivive app on a smart phone, you can make it come to life. The piece is by Lenny and whale, and is a reminder that peace starts with us.

Love these little bits of ceramic street art on various walls around the Garnethill area of Glasgow. They were put up as part of the St Aloysius College COP26 Sculpture Trail.

A different view than the usual one of the distinctive former Glasgow Savings Bank on New City Road in Glasgow. Designed in an Edwardian Baroque style by Neil C. Duff in 1909, it's one of Glasgow's finest gushet buildings.

The rather brilliantly named Normal School for the Training of Teachers in Garnethill in Glasgow. Designed by D and J Hamilton and built in 1837, it was the first institution in Britain specifically set up to train professional teachers.

If you look down Garnethill Street in Glasgow, you can see two things. Vehicles are only allowed up it, and not down it, and the original tenement on Sauchiehall Street at the bottom of this road is missing.

Interested in #Edinburgh women's history? A statue is being proposed to the memory of Elsie Inglis on the High St. This lacks artistic merit, excludes female artists, misrepresents Dr Inglis' legacy & disregards the context of the site. We need your help so pls read this 🧵 👇
