One of the best things about living in Glasgow is turning a corner and finding yourself looking up at a roof like this!
The former Ogg Brothers Department Store at Paisley Road Toll was designed by Bruce and Hay, and was built in the 1880s. It's topped by the Spirit of Commerce and Industry, who is perhaps better known as the Kinning Park Angel, the Angel of the South, or simply Mrs. Ogg.

I came across this in the Kinning Park area of Glasgow yesterday. I don't know if it's modern art, a statement of intent, or just a warning to any would-be uninvited visitors. Either way, it's definitely one for the Keep Glasgow Weird file!
The Renaissance Style former Ogg Brothers Drapery Warehouse at Paisley Road Toll in Glasgow. Designed by Bruce and Hay and built in the 1880s, this is a major southside landmark.

Love the font and the craquelure on this sign painted by one of the doors on the former Our Lady and St Margaret's Primary School in Kinning Park in Glasgow

Cart entrance to the former Kinning Park Colour Works on Milnpark Road in Glasgow, featuring the original 1890s doors and a fantastic polychromatic brickwork archway.

The Kinning Park Pumping Station on Milnpark Street in Glasgow. Designed by D. and A. Horne, it was built in the early 1900s. I love the way the roof line mirrors the curves of the windows.

I've always loved this corner tenement on Paisley Road West in the Cessnock area of Glasgow.
