Just another rather glorious Glasgow Public Library building. This is the 1905 former Hutchesontown District Library on McNeil Street. Who wouldn't be inspired to read in a building like this?

I love this deconstructed version of the Glasgow Coat of Arms by William Kellock Brown above the entrance to the former Hutchesontown District Library on McNeil Street in the Gorbals.

The entrance to the former Gorbals Public Library on Norfolk Street in Glasgow, which was built by the Office of Public Works around 1930.

The Gatekeeper on Kidston Terrace in the Gorbals area of Glaagow. It was created by Matt Baker in 2002 to mark the 3rd complete rebuilding of the local area in the last 150 years. Made of bronze and twice life-size, as far as I know, it's the only suspended public sculpture in the UK.

Love this grasshopper sculpture on one of the gates of the New Gorbals Park on the southside of Glasgow.

There appears to be a time portal under a railway bridge in the Gorbals connecting modern day Glasgow to the American Wild West of the late 1800s!

Statues on the roof of the Citizen's Theatre on the southside of Glasgow. They are Robert Burns (right hand end), William Shakespeare (left hand end), and the four Greek muses Melpomene, Thalia, Euterpe and Terpsichore. They were created by the legendary Glasgow architectural sculptor John Mossman for the theatre when it was built in 1878.
