To follow on from my last post, if you've ever wondered what it looks like inside the pyramid-shaped roof of the 1960s former Kelvingrove Parish Church in the Anderston area of Glasgow, it looks just as unique as it does on the outside! #glasgow #anderston #architecture #church

The Pyramid At Anderston in Glasgow. Originally built as the Anderston Kelvingrove Parish Church in the 1960s, it was designed by Honeyman, Jack and Robertson. It's now a community space. #glasgow #anderston #architecture #architecturephotography

An unusual (for Glasgow) pair of semi-detached Arts and Crafts style villas on Anniesland Road in the west of Glasgow, next to Scotstounhill Station. Called Sherwood and Ainslea, they were designed by Malcon Stark and were built in 1887. Cont./ #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography

Love the shape of these gables on these tenement bay windows on St Andrews Street in the East End of Glasgow. #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography #tenement #eastend

Love this stained glass on 63 Bath Street in Glasgow. One of the best things about life in this city is coming across such random bits of beauty as you travel around it. You just have to keep you eyes open so you see it as you pass. #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography #stainedglass

The understated elegance of the former Philosophical Institute on Bath Street in Glasgow. Built in 1880 in a Free Renaissance style, it was designed by Thomas Lennox Watson, who also designed the neighbouring Adelaide Place Baptist Church. Cont./ #glasgow #architecture #bathstreet

A ghost sign on the surviving outer wall of the Old College Goods Station on High Street in central Glasgow. As far as I can work out it reads Manchester Chemical Co Ltd, Stores, Offices and Warehouse. The last line is unclear, but seems to say No Deposits. Cont./ #glasgow #highstreet #ghostsign

The wonderfully over-the-top entrance to Albert Chambers on Bath Street in Glasgow. Designed by Bruce and Hay, it was built in 1901. Amongst all the other things, I love how the rather weighty pediment at the top is shaped almost like a pair of wings. #glasgow #architecture #doorway #sculpture

Looking down on the glorious Charing Cross Mansions in Glasgow from a nearby pedestrian bridge. Designed by J.J. Burnet in an early French Renaissance style and constructed in 1891, this building always looks especially good on a sunny evening. #glasgow #architecture #tenement #charingcross

A swan singing to the lyre of Apollo above the entrance to the 1850s Queen's Halls on La Belle Place in Glasgow. In Greek mythology, swans were often associated with Apollo, and through him with music and poetry. #glasgow #sculpture #architecture #apollo #architecturephotography

Lone Survivor. The former British Linen Bank building at 215 High Street in Glasgow. Built in 1895 from a design by William Forrest Salmon, it's the last building from its era standing on this block. #glasgow #buildings #architecture #architecturephotography #highstreet

A rather stylish Art Deco warehouse on Hutcheson Street in central Glasgow. I especially like the metal panels between the floors. Cont./ #glasgow #architecture #architecturephotography #artdeco #merchantcity

The Commonwealth Carnival Parade today at the Merchant City Festival in Glasgow. I love seeing events like this amongst the city's fantastic built heritage. #glasgow #mechantcityfestival #glasgowtoday
