The Granville Street entrance to the Mitchell Library in Glasgow is flank by these two strapping lads. They're survivors from the Saint Andrew's Halls, which once occupied this site. The halls, which dated from the 1870s, were badly damaged in a fire in 1962, and only this facade, with its magnificent statues by John and William Mossman, could be saved. It was later incorporated into an extension to the neighbouring Mitchell Library.

The Atlantes on the Bank of Scotland building on Saint Vincent Place had a great view of the finishing straight for the mens road race at the UCI World Championships in Glasgow on Sunday, but then again, they have been waiting there for 150 years just to see it!
