Looking up at the clock tower of the former Hutcheson's Hospital on Ingram Street in Glasgow. Designed by David Hamilton and built between 1802 and 1805, this replaced an earlier hospital on Trongate. It provided a hospital for the elderly and a school for the poor.

A beautifully sculpted figure of Saint Mungo over the entrance of the former Glasgow Savings Bank on Ingram Street in Glasgow. I love the way selective guilding has been used to add to its impact.

Fellow Glasgow Residents by Smug on Ingram Street in Glasgow. Created in 2013, it features the plants, animals and fungi that live alongside us, often unnoticed, in the city.

Love these sculptures by George Frampton on J.J. Burnet's 1890s banking hall on Ingram Street in Glasgow, especially the crouching atlantes holding up either end of the pediment.

The Foulis brothers not only ran one of Glasgow's first book shops (opened in 1741, some ten years before John Smith opened his), but also ran the much-respected Foulis Press and were printers for the University of Glasgow.

Embedded in the pavement outside the Ramshorn Theatre on Ingram Street in Glasgow is this somewhat enigmatic flagstone. It's a reminder of a time when the neighbouring Ramshorn Cemetery was larger and marks the last resting place of Robert and Andrew Foulis, both of whom died in the 1770s.

Albion Buildings, Ingram Street, Glasgow. This former warehouse was built in a classical syle around 1875. For many years it was occupied by the clothing manufacturer Fraser Ross & Co Ltd.
