Love this bit of stained glass on a shop front on Clarkston Road on the South Side of Glasgow. No idea when it dates from, but I'm guessing around 1910.

Love this ghost sign on Clarkston Road in Muirend. The MER refers to the nearby Merrylee Telephone Exchange, which was built in 1928. This means the sign can be dated from between that year and 1966 when All-Figure Dialling was introduced in the UK, and the MER prefix was replaced with the code 637. I've no idea which business this number once belonged to.

The ornate gable of the former Cathcart Free Church (now Cathcart Trinity Church) on Clarkston Road in Glasgow. Designed by W.G. Rowan in a Gothic style, it was built in 1893.

The impressive Gate Lodge of Cathcart Cemetery. It was built in a Scots Baronial style around 1877.

The simple, but elegant New Cathcart Church in Glasgow. Designed by John Bennie Wilson and built in 1907, this stunning and unique little building was turned into residential housing in 2006.

As well as being an architect, Wilson was also one of the founders of the 3rd Lanark Athletic Club, one of the first Scottish football teams, and as their striker scored their first ever league goal.

I've just dropped off a bunch of 'This Is My Glasgow' goodies off at Sunshine No. 1 on Cathcarth Road on the Southside of Glasgow, including signed prints, these fridge magnets, pin badges, greetings cards, and of course copies of my book Glasgow Uncovered.

If you're in the area (or even if you're not!), check them out as they have lots of good stuff from lots of independent makers from all over Scotland.

Believe it or not, today is the first time I have set foot in the Cathcart. I always thought it was a hipster restaurant, turns out it's a food court, the glass house is actually the common dining area

Spotted yesterday in the Cathcart area of Glasgow while I was photographing some decorative cast iron lamps holders on an old bridge. My first thought (and probably showing my age!), I didn't even know those Dymo label makers still existed! Definitely one for the Keep Glasgow Weird folder.

Love this cast iron ornamental lamp bracket on the bridge between Holmlea and Cathcart in Glasgow, especially the paintwork. Dating from 1901 (when the bridge was built), it was made by W. MacFarlane and Co's Saracen Foundry in the north of the city. There's a pair of them on the bridge, one on each side of the road, and just think how impressive they'd look if they were tastefully restored.
