Love this grand entrance to 250 Saint Vincent Street in Glasgow. It was designed by James Thomson and built around 1882.

Glasgow west end roof top.
No real reason to post this other than I love the shape of the roofline created by all the little architectural details on it.

The rear elevation of Saint Andrew's Parish Church in Saint Andrew's Square in Glasgow. Built in the mid-1700s, this church is usually photographed from the front, but the simple symmetry of the rear of the building has an air of classical beauty to it as well.

Saint Andrew Parish Church, Calton, Glasgow.
Built in the mid-1700s, this impressive church was designed by Alan Dreghorn. It was based on James Gibb's 1722 Saint Martin-in-the-Fields in London.

Garrioch Publc School, Maryhill, Glasgow. Built in 1905 by the Maryhill School Board. I love the symmetry of this imposing building, with its strong classical influences even at a time when Art Nouveau was probably more fashinable in Glasgow.

Langside Hill Church on Glasgow's Southside. Design by Alexanser Skirving in 1894 in a style heavily influenced by the great Alexander 'Greek' Thomson, this was apparently the last grand classical church to be built in the city.
