The main entrance to the Glasgow City Chambers in George Square. Designed by William Young, it was built in the 1880s in a mix of Italianate, Roman, Venetian and Flemish styles.

This intriguing plaque can be found on the side of the 1895 former British Linen Bank on High Street in Glasgow. It reads: On this site stood the house in which the poet Campbell lived. An additional plate seems to have been added later with the text: born 1777, died 1844.

Cafe Andaluz for tapas and cocktails followed by a few beers at George Square.
Streets are horribly busy in bits - as you hear from so many passerbys. I can confirm a few drinks do help.
Hard to imagine a better city on the planet to be in during August.

As well as being a spectacular building, Glasgow City Chambers is also a bit of a film star, appearing in movies as diverse as The Wife, Churchill and World War Z.

The top of Glasgow City Chambers catching the last rays of the setting sun. This was taken a few weeks ago, but I've just realised I never posted it.
The city chambers was built in the 1880s and was designed by William Young with sculptures by John Mossman and George Lawson.

Standard measures of lengths set into the ground in George Square outside Glasgow City Chambers. These standards were used to ensure that everyone in the city was using the same measures. This was important both for industrialisation and commerce.

Going to whack these up, every single pic can be described as "a group of people singing and dancing at a protest".

A few folk at #GeorgeSquare already. #Glasgow
In a time before modern techology, this was how they ensured that a foot (or any other linear measurement) used to build something in Glasgow remained the same as a foot in Birmingham, or London, or for that matter in Australia or Canada.

The Standards for Imperial Measures, Glasgow City Chambers, George Square, Glasgow.
I love this little piece of Glasgow's past set into the bottom right hand corner of the City Chambers. I suspect a lot of people walk past it every day without giving it a second glance or realising what it is.

The dome of the Merchants House, George Square, Glasgow.
Glasgow has many domes, but this is probably my favourite because of the globe and sailing ship perched on it top.
I often wonder how many people pass this building each day wihout ever noticing the ornate ornamentation far above them.
