Good morning Glasgow! What a morning to be out enjoying the city. The sun's out, river's calm, and the building's are looking spectacular!

Disused railway tracks at the base of the Finnieston Crane on Stobcross Quay in Glasgow.

These lines would be used to bring good made in and around Glasgow down to the banks of the Clyde to be loaded by the crane into ships and exported all over the world. This included items as large as steam locomotives, explaining why such a massive crane was required.

Good morning, Glasgow. It looks like it's going to be another fine day. Happy Easter, and may all your eggs be chocolate!

A late afternoon view across the Clyde to Finnieston and the Scottish Events Campus.

It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a view which I never tire of as you can see so many of the different layers of the city all at once.

Glasgow's Iconic Squinty Bridge.

Opened in 2006, this bridge is one of the most recognisable, and most photographed, structures in Glasgow. It's officially known as the Clyde Arc, but almost as soon as it was built, it was nicknamed the Squinty Bridge (because it goes across the river at an angle), and now you'll rarely hear it referred to by any other name!

The Last of the Titans

Titan cranes were once amongst the most powerful cranes on the planet. Of the eleven that are left in the world, four can be found on the banks of the Clyde in western Scotland.

These are the Stobcross Crane, the Barcley Curle Crane (both in Glasgow), the Titan in Clydebank and the Janes Watt Dock Crane in Greenock.
