I love these ornate Victorian-style cast iron benches as there's just so much going on. This particular example is in Fountain Gardens in Paisley, but you can also find them in the Kibble Palace in the Botanic Gardens in Glasgow.

Cast iron gravemarkers, like this one in Sighthill Cemetery in Glasgow, were created towards the end of the Victorian era with the aim of making the type of highly ornamented gravestone previously only available to the very rich much more affordable and so more widely available. Many were produced by George Smith's Sun Foundry in the Port Dundas area of the city, and he held several patents for cast-iron grave markers.

Love this ornate, and rather frog-like, Victorian bootscraper outside a townhouse in thr Park District In the West End of Glasgow.
