The Tontine Heads behind the Provand's Lordship in Glasgow. Dating from the 19th Century, these heads originally adorned keystones of arches in the Tontine Hotel at Glasgow Cross.

Love the positioning of this bench in amongst the beech trees in Dawsholm Park in Glasgow. It's a great place to sit and listen to the birds singing all around you.

St Mary Immaculate Church in the Pollokshaws area of Glasgow. Built on a hill overlooking the surrounding houses, it's a beautiful little Gothic style Victorian church. Designed by W. Nicholson, it was constructed in 1865.

Glasgow's has been found to be the best city in the UK to raise children. Yes, it's a survey by an estate agency (so make of that what you will), but it's interesting to look at why the city came out top.

I'm a bit of a sucker for brick-built industrial buildings, especially those which incorporate polychromatic brickwork decorations, like the 1910s former Wallace Scott Tailoring Instititue in the Cathcart area of Glasgow.

Love this Green Man style mask on the keystone of an arched window on 11 Renfield Street in Glasgow. This building was originally built in 1858, but was altered in the 1890s and I presume the mask was added at this time.
