As they walk along St Vincent Place in Glasgow, few people will give these metal screens around a modern toilet block a second glance, but if you do, you'll see they bear the monogram of the Caledonian Railway Company. This is because they were originally made for the Glasgow Cross Railway Station under Trongate.

The allegorical figure of Art by David Watson Stevenson on the Saracen Fountain in Alexandra Park in the East End of Glasgow. The rendering of the folds of the clothing on this figure is just superb. This fountain was created by Walter Macfarlane's Saracen Foundry for the 1901 Glasgow International Exhibition in Kelvingrove Park, and was only moved to its current location in 1914.

An owl hiding under the canopy of the 1897 Queen Victoria Jubilee Fountain in Overtoun Park in Rutherglen. While there are many monuments celebrating Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887, there are not nearly as many marking her Diamond Jubilee ten years later. This fountain was created by the Saracen Foundry on Possilpark in the north of Glasgow.

P. & R. Fleming & Co iron work on the side of Loch Katrine to the north of Glasgow. This company was formed in the city early 1800s by brothers Peter and Robert Fleming, along with their brothers-in-law William and Matthew Strang. They were particularly well-know for their bridges, as well as iron railing and gates, which can still be found in many of Scotland's public parks.
