The Albert Bridge in central Glasgow. Built in 1868 to a design by Bell and Miller, it's the only substantial wrought-iron arched bridge in Scotland.

Love this ornamental ironwork outside a blonde sandstone Victorian townhouse on Athole Gardens in the West End of Glasgow.

By far my favourite bit of architectural ironwork in Glasgow, and possibly anywhere in the world! It can be found on D.B. Dobson's 1902 Art Nouveau commercial building at 50 Darnley Street in Glasgow.

The uppermost section of the 1901 cast-iron Saracen Fountain in Alexandra Park in Glasgow. Designed by David Watson Stevenson, it was made by Walter MacFarlane's Saracen Foundry in Possilpark. It was created for the Glasgow International Exhibition, held in 1901 in Kelvingrove Park. At the end of the festival it was removed and re-erected in Alexandra Park in 1914.

Some of the beautiful ironwork detail on Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's 1863 Buck's Head Building in Argyle Street in Glasgow.

This station was built for the Caledonain Railway Company as part of what is now the Argyle Line in the 1890s. This line, and the stations along it, were closed in 1964. When the line re-opened in 1979, the Glasgow Cross Station was replaced by a new one on Argyle Street, but it remains as a ghost station below Glasgow Cross.

As they walk along St Vincent Place in Glasgow, few people will give these metal screens around a modern toilet block a second glance, but if you do, you'll see they bear the monogram of the Caledonian Railway Company. This is because they were originally made for the Glasgow Cross Railway Station under Trongate.
