Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this magnificent wild boar on the former Kelvinside Artistic Stationery Works on Herbert Street. The quality of pointing's not quite so good!

Sleeping lions guarding the entrance to the Hamilton Mausoleum. This mausoleum was built in the mid-1800s for Alexander, the 10th Duke of Hamilton. The pair of male lions by David Bryce are just sublime.

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this dragon apparently eating a snake at one of the entrances to the former Royal Samaritan Hospital for Women in Govanhill, which was built in the late 1800s.

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture comes from the front of the Scottish Cooperative Wholesale Society building on Morrison Street in Glasgow. I love the way the lion's head grows organically out of the foliage.

Today's animals from Glasgow's architecture as these pair of beautifully carved dolphinfish from 1897 on 42 Jamaica Street in Glasgow City Centre. Sadly, one of them is somewhat worse for wear.

A rather grumpy looking dragon with one head and two bodies above the University Avenue entrance to the main buildings of Glasgow University.
Over the years, I've spent a lot of time in and around the university, but I only noticed brilliant little sculpture for the first time a couple of weeks ago.

Lyre surrounded by dolphinfish and topped by a swan(?) On the La Belle Place elevation of the former Queens Rooms beside Kelvingrove Park. Built in 1857, the sculptures on this building are by the great John Mossman assisted by Walter Buchan.

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this one from the interior of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's Holmwood House of the southside of Glasgow. Love the curvaceous shape and the minimalist design.

The dragon on the side of the A-Listed Govan Old Parish Church seems to have suffered quite badly in recent years. The pipe through its back seems new (alhough there was evidence of previous damage here), along with the metal flashing on the top. There's also a rather unsympathetic repair to the face and (in my opinion) a poor choice of replacement downpipe.

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this apparently cross-eyed fishy beauty on 103 Hutcheson Street. Dating from around 1860, this is one of a series of similar sculptures above the second storey windows
