Charles Rennie MacKintosh's House for an Art Lover in Bellahouston Park in Glasgow. Designed for a competition run by a German design magazine (Zeitschrift für Innendekoration) in 1901, it wasn't constructed until the 1990s, almost 70 years after Mackintosh's death in 1928.

Homage to Shipbuilding in Bellahouston Park in Glasgow. Installed in 2005, it was designed by Jimmy Cosgrove and constructed by Hector McGarva. It shows a shipyard worker on one side and his dog on the other. Only part of the inscription can be seen from this angle, but in whole it reads: Celebrate those who made the Clyde great.

It was then moved to its current location in 1989, when construction on House for an Art Lover (visible in the distance through the portico in this photo) began on the site where Ibrox Hill House once stood.

The former dovecot and stables for Ibroxhill House in what is now Bellahouston Park in Glasgow. Ibroxhill House was built by John Bennett in 1801 and was demolished in 1914. Pretty much all that's left of it are these stables, and the stone portico at the entrance to the grounds surrounding Mackintosh's House for an Art Lover.
