Rawcliffe Lodge in the Shawlands area of Glasgow. Built in 1862, it was probably designed by John Burnet Senior as a Franco-Scots Renaissance style villa for Alexander Bannatyne Stewart. He was the Stewart in the wholesale clothing business Stewart and McDonald, which owned the warehouse on the corner of Buchanan Street and Argyle Street that I featured yesterday.

The former National Commercial Bank Building on Bothwell Street in Glasgow. Built in an imposing Modern Classical style in 1934, it was designed by the great James Miller, who also designed much of the nearby Central Station. I love the Vitruvian scrollwork along the top, the relief sculptures and the pair of grand columns at the entrance of an otherwise quite plain facade.

Love this louvered tower and dormer windows combination on the original Catherone Cranston Tearoom on Argyle Street in Glasgow. Built as a tenement in the 18th century, this tower would have been part of the alterations made for Cranston by David Barclay in 1898.

I'm always looking for new spots to take sunset pictures in Glasgow where there's something interesting the foreground that isn't a crane, a bridge or a university. This is a new one I found yesterday evening, where the distinctive roofline of the former Govan Town Hall was silhouetted against a golden sky.
