The Jacobean Corsetry building on Virginia Street in Glasgow. Originally built in the late 18th century, this tenement is one of the Virginia Buildings, which were at the heart of the city's tobacco trade.

I love this sculpture on a wall at the junction of Byres Road and University Avenue in West End of Glasgow. Created in 1993 by Michelle de Bruin and Callum Sinclair, this is the first time I've seen it lit up in a very long time.

Glasgow University looking beautifully lit up at nightfall a couple of days ago. Its lighting system can be changed to almost any colour and this is used to mark various events and support various campaigns.
