Brighton beach is a good source of stones with holes in, which many residents and visitors collect as it is believed they bring good luck. This superstition may have a long pedigree - similar stones were found in the grave of a Stone- Age woman at the early Neolithic Whitehawk Camp to the east of the town. #folklore #history #mythology #Brighton #archaeology #StandingStoneSunday

I love this Glasgow Style tenement the corner of Govan Road and Shaw Street in Glasgow. It was designed by Frank Burnet and Boston and was built in 1900. The corner turret with a balustrade around the uppermost floor topped by a conical roof is a common feature of Burnet and Boston's tenenents from this period of Glasgow's history.

57 Miller Street in Glasgow. I love way the floors of 1870s building are differ from each other, almost as as if each one has its own architect, yet they all come together to create a beautiful, if eclectic, building
