I am almost transported back to #Glasgow in the 90s by hearing this.

Provan Hall, dating back in part to the 1460s and built as a base for the Prebendary of Barlanark, before renovation. This little-known gem stands in Auchinlea Park, on the west side of Glasgow's Easterhouse and close to the M8 motorway.

The domed corner of an early 1900s commercial building on the corner of Trongate and Albion Street in Glasgow. Designed by Thomson and Sandilands, it was built for the City Improvement Trust.

I'm happy to say my collection of 2027 calendars is now available. You can buy them online here (and we can ship to most places in the world): https://www.thisismyglasgow.com/product-category/calendar/
They'll also be available at my pop-up stall in the St Enoch Centre in Glasgow this Saturday (26th September), and at a few other markets I'll be doing over the next couple of months.
There's also a seventh one that's not shown here, and which features ghost signs from around Glasgow.

This is a rather gorgeous red sandstone 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.

One of the four rather beautiful golden elephant heads in the Citizens Theatre in Glasgow. They were originally part of the auditorium of the neighbouring Palace Theatre which was designed in an Indian style by Bertie Crewe (one of the UK's leading theatre architects who also designed the city's Pavilion Theatre) in 1904.

The former National Bank of Scotland building on the corner of Trongate and Glassford Street in Glasgow. Built in 1903, it was designed by Thomas P. Marwick in a Renaissance style.

I recently posted a shot of the huge and imposing marble staircase from the City Chambers in Glasgow, but it's only one of the amazing bits of interior decoration in the building. This is another: the 100 foot long Faience Corridor, where every inch of its walls and domed ceilings are adorned with glazed decorative ceramic tiles.

The mornings might be getting darker as we head into the heart of autumn, but it does mean my first dog walk of the day now coincides with the dawn chorus, so it's accompanied by bird song, produced by the likes of this little robin perched on a road sign.

George Square in #Glasgow still has a way to go before completion but they are getting there. Mostly
One of the staircases in the City Chambers in Glasgow. Designed by William Young and built in the 1880s, its lavish internal decorations have to be seen to be believed. Luckily, they run regular tours so you can take a peek inside.

Living in Glasgow can sometimes have its challenges, especially at this time of year when the weather can be rather wet and the nights are drawing in, but then you come across something like this on Park Drive in the Woodlands area of the city and you're reminded why you'd never want to live anywhere else!

An lone sandstone gate post standing on its own in the middle of a wooded area on the top of a hill in Bellahouston Park in Glasgow (as always, spaniel added for scale). I presume this is one of the few surviving remnants of Bellahouston House which once occupied the site.

#scotland pals: anyone out there able to temp foster a parrot who's currently in the glasgow area? i have limited info, but here's bit:
'It's my partner's parrot.
His dad got him, then when he died 12 years ago, my parnter's been taking care of him. He is now getting evicted from his flat in Glasgow and struggling to find somewhere to host. The timeframe unfortunately is unclear. I'd say a couple of weeks at least 🤷♀️'
thanks for any boosts, too! :)

I post pictures of this wonderfully expressive crouching Atlantid way too often, but since he's been supporting his building for over 125 years without complaining, I feel he deserves all the credit I can give him! Carved by George Frampton, it's on J.J. Burnet's 1890s Banking Hall on Ingram Street in Glasgow.

A row of six circular 'coal hole' covers on Great Wester Road near St George's Cross in Glasgow. Invented in the mid-19th century, they contain hexagonal semi-prisms to bring light into the basement below.
Once common, these are a feature of our historic street furniture which is gradually disappearing over time. The prisms get broken and rather than having them replaced, they're filled in with concrete or covered over (as one of these has been).

Thanks to Glasgow City Heritage Trust for sending me an information pack about their Brutal Glasgow Trail, celebrating the city's Brutalist Architecture. It's not a style that's everyone's cup of tea, but it's still an important part of the city's architectural history and I'm looking forward to checking the trail out. If you're interested, you can find out more about it here: https://www.glasgowheritage.org.uk/brutal-glasgow-trail/
