Looking at a photo-feature in today's Guardian about Simon Phipps' "Brutal Scotland", that's two books about postwar #ScottishBuildings in just a couple of months, the other being Bruce Peter's "Modernist Scotland".

I haven't seen Phipps book, aside from the Guardian extract, but these were my notes about Bruce Peter's book.

The Hamilton Mausoleum to the southeast of Glasgow. It was built in the mid-1800s for Alexander, the 10th Duke of Hamilton.

The entrance to the 1893 post and telegraph office on Colquhoun Street in Helensbugh. I love how it looks like a telegram boy wearing a cap with his employer's name emblazoned across it.

West End Cross in Paisley. Built in 1886, this is a beautifully designed gushet building. For anyone wondering about the name of the pub on the ground floor, there's an A missing from it, which potentially changes it quite substantially!

Love this unusual little gushet building I came across when passing through Cumnock in Ayrshire yesterday. I particularly like its bottle-like shape.

A rather wonderful late Victorian gushet fire station on Gordon Street in Paisley.

Victory Baths, Inchinnan Road, Renfrew. This beautiful little building was designed by T.G. Abercrombie in a Scots Renaissance style and was built in 1921.
