The iconic American-style truck emerging from the wall above the entrance to the legendary Garage night club on Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow. One of Scotland's largest clubs, the Garage opened in 1994. However, the building it's in is much older, with part of it (G2) being housed in a Georgian mansion which was built in 1812. While the truck is currently bright yellow, it has been painted many different colours over the years.

Love this trompe-l'œil style mural on the ground floor of an exposed tenement gable in the Linthouse area of Glasgow. The adjoining tenement, which would have completed a residental block enclosing an internal back court, was demolished to make way for the southern entrance to the Clyde Tunnel, which opened in 1963.

King of the Castle on Dougrie Place in the Castlemilk area of Glasgow. Created by Kenny Hunter, in collaboration with members of the Castlemilk Writers' Group, in 1999, it features a young boy wearing a cape and looking off into the diatance from the top of a large dome.
