The Argyll Arcade in central Glasgow. Developed by James Robertson Reid in the 1820s as Scotland's first indoor shopping arcade, it was modelled on the Parisian Arcades of the late 1700s. It's about 150 metres long and was designed by John Baird I.

Carmunnock Parish Church in Glasgow. Rebuilt in the 1760s, it's possibly based on a pre-reformation religious site. The main entrance is through a ground floor door, while the stairs lead up to one of the upper galleries.

Arnewood's first resident is listed as William Neilson of the Summerlee and Mossend Iron and Steel Company. However, the only William I can find associated with that buisness died in 1882, and it seems more likely it was built for his son, Walter Neilson.

Arnewood on Cleveden Road. Constructed around 1893 with Jacobean styling, making it look more like a castle, it was one of the largest and most impressive private homes in the west end of Glasgow. It has recently been restored and is looking absolutley stunning, especially in the sun.
