Carved keystone head over the entrance to the old Fairfield Shipyard on Govan Road. Dating from 1890, the sculpture is by McGilvray & Ferris.
Judging by the winged headdress, it represents Thor, the hammer-wielding Norse god of Thunder, which would be quite appropriate given the all the cacophony of noise created by ship-building.

Glasgow Savings Bank, 101 New City Road Glasgow, one of several 'flatiron' style wedge-shaped buildings in Glasgow.
Built in 1909 in the Edwardian Baroque style from a design by Neil C. Duff.

My ever-growing obsession with animals in Glasgow's architecture continues with this absolutely fantastic owl above a window at 282 High Street.
