A section of Pollokshields Burgh Halls in Glasgow. Designed by H.E. Clifford in a Scots Renaissance style, it was built in 1890. I love all the different shapes which have been used to create not just the roofline, but also the facade below.

The wonderfully crafted stained glass portraits of Art, Music and Literature (each of which features in their own window) in the 1890s Pollokshields Burgh Halls on the Southside of Glasgow.

A stained glass City of Glasgow coat of arms in an extension to the 1890 Pollokshields Burgh Halls. This extension was added in 1935, by which point Pollokshields had been incorporated into the neighbouring city. I particularly like the colours used for the fish, and for St Mungo's robes.

Somersby on Dalziel Drive on the Southside of Glasgow. Designed by H.E Clifford in a Scots Baronial type style, it was build in 1902 for William T. Geddes, the Glasgow oil and produce broker.

The wonderful decorative brass door handles in the 1890s Pollokshields Burgh Hall on the Southside of Glasgow. They're in the form of guardians placed there protect you as you enter and leave the building.

Love this B-listed Scottish Baronial villa on Daziel Drive in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow. Built in 1886, it's designed in the style of W.F. MacGibbon.

Benefrey on Springkell Avenue in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow. Designed by William Hunter McNab in a Franco-Scottish Gothic style, it was built in 1910, making it one of the last grand villas built in Pollokshields.
It was built for John Anderson, a director of the construction company P and W Anderson, which, amongst other important Glasgow buildings, helped build the Central Hotel, the Glasgow Herald Building and the Mitchell Library.
Matheran from Springkell Avenue in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow. Designed by Burnet, Boston and Carruthers in a Scots Baronial style, this magnificent house was built in 1903 for Hugh Dunsmuir of the Govan Engine Works. In the 1960s, Matheran became the Glasgow School of Occupational Therapy, but is now once again a residential property.
