1860s blonde sandstone tenement on Clouston Street in the North Kelvinside area of Glasgow. The asymetrical position of the door is unusual for a period where symmetry was the preferred trend in architecture.

The remains of the original Queen Margaret Bridge over the River Kelvin in Glasgow. This cast iron bridge was built in 1870 by John Ewing Walker to provide access to the new neighbourhood of Kelvinside which he was developing. It was replaced by the new Queen Margaret Bridge (on what is now Queen Margaret Drive) in the 1920s and much of it was demolished in the 1970s, leaving just the stone piers on which it rested.

1860s townhouses in Kelvin Drive in the northwest of Glasgow. I just love the way the big bow windows have been used to turn the corner. The left hand house was first owned by Peter MacLeod, a lawyer, while the right hand one was initially inhabited by Allan Buchanan Dick, a partner is a firm of soap manufacturers, tallow melters, oil and lard merchants and drysalters

Hand-painted signs in the Children's Wood in the North Kelvinside area of Glasgow. While I like these, there's a slightly post-apocalyptic feel to them (although that might just be me!).
