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.

Love these old-fashioned cast-iron road signs in the Carmunnock area of Glasgow, and especially the precision used for the distances

Love these old-fashioned cast-iron road signs in the Carmunnock area of Glasgow, especially pointing fingers and the fact that the distances are given to the nearest 1/4 of a mile!
Former Portioner's cottage, dating from 1690, in Carmunnock in Glasgow. A portioner farmed a portion of land that was allotted to them by the local land owner. The roof would originally have been thatched, and remained so until around 1900.

You know Glasgow gets a lot of rain when someone goes to the effort of fitting an umbrella holder and drip tray to the end of every pew in one of its churches! This is Carmunnock Parish Church on the city's southern edge. It was built in the 18th Century, but the interior is primarily 19th Century.

The signature of the artist Norman M. MacDougall on a stained glass window in Carmunnock church in Glasgow. The window is one of two MacDougall created in 1922 as a memorial to those men from the local parish killed in the First World War. A graduate of Glasgow School of Art, MacDougall died in 1937 and is buried in the Carmunnock church yard.

Carmunnock Parish Church in Glasgow. Rebuilt in the 1760s, it's possibly based on a pre-reformation religious site. The main entrance is through the small door under the stairs, while, rather unusually, the stairs themselves provide the only access to one of three internal galleries (the other two are also accessed by similar external stairs on different sides of the building).
