Early morning on the Pointy Bridge in Glasgow, taken just before the current bout of driech weather rolled in on Tuesday, bringing with it what seems like endless smirr and mizzle, and like an unwanted house guest, it seems to be refusing to take the hint and leave any time soon.

The Sighthill Pedestrian Bridge, better known as the Rusty Bridge. Installed in 2023, it connects Sighthill with central Glasgow across the M8 motorway, which has represented a major barrier to the free and easy movement of people around the city since it was built in the 1960s.

My first look at the new Govan-Partick Bridge in its closed position, and its definitely looking good, but just a week before its official opening, one crucial question remains unanswered: What's its nickname going to be?

The Tradeston Bridge in Glasgow, known to almost everyone as the Squiggly Bridge because of the sinuous route it takes across the Clyde. It was designed by Dissing+Weitling and was opened in 2009.

The Snow Bridge in Kelvingtove Park in the west end of Glasgow.

Built around 1800, it's one of the oldest surviving bridges over the lower reaches of the River Kelvin. When trams were introduced to the city in the 1870s, it was decided that the bend it creates on to Dumbarton Road was too tight for the new means of transport, and it was replaced by the nearby Partick Bridge.

Looking along the 1850s Saint Andrew's Suspension Bridge at Glasgow Green towards the domed tower of the 1904 former Hutchesontown District Library.

The Union Bridge in Glasgow. This was the site of the first railway bridge across the Clyde. The original bridge was build in the 1860s, but the current one dates from the 1890s.

One of the embattled turrets of the Union Railway Bridge over the River Clyde in central Glasgow.

Designed by William Melville and built around 1900, it originally connected the southside of Glasgow to the now-demolished Saint Enoch Station.

I love the over-elaborate embellishments to the stonework of this bridge.
