The roof top of James Miller's 1899 Arts and Crafts Church in Linthouse in Glasgow. A great bit of architecture and you'll see lots of similar adornments on other buildings across the city, but do you know your capolas from your flèches?

Like much of the minor sculptures and stonework in Glasgow, these feathres really help to give the city its characteristic feel, but too often we concentrate on protecting the big buildings by famous architects and not the small, once widespread features which play just as important a role in making Glasgow feel like Glasgow rather than just another urban area anywhere in the world.

Decorative ironwork and lamp above the door of 81 Parnie Street in Glasgow.

I love finding original bits of metalwork like this, however they're getting harder and harder to find as more and more of then get damaged and lost over time.

The Mathematician, 1874.

Situated on the former Buchanan Institute for Destitute Children on Greenhead Street in Bridgeton, Glasgow.

The sculptor, William Brodie, was also responsible for one of Scotland's most famous statues, that of GreyFriars Bobby on the George IV Bridge in Edinburgh.

The Green Man on a building on Lancaster Terrace in Glasgow.

Representing spring and rebirth, the Green Man appears on a surprisingly large number of buildings in Glasgow, but this foliate version is the best representation of him I've so far found in the city.
