Every now and then you spot something really quirky in Glasgow's architecture, like this pediment over a doorway on Sauchiehall Street with a exceedingly deep cut-out so that it doesn't block the light coming into the window. The architect was clearly determined to have a pediment there at all costs.

One last picture from James Salmon Jrs Art Nouveau Masterpiece at 53 Bothwell Street in Glasgow. Carved across the front are these four friezes which proclaim: Bells Ring; Fish Swim; Birds Fly; Trees Grow! This seems something which is unnecessarily provocative to appear on a Glasgow building, but it amuses me greatly!

Clock tower in Pollokshaws. Dating from 1803, it's the last remaining remnant of the old Pollockshaws burgh buildings.

A wonderful circular corner bay window topped by a Glasgow Style dome and finial on a tenement on Whitehill Street in the east end of Glasgow. I always love coming across features like these as they are so typical of the city's everyday architecture.

One of the distinctive and iconic corn sheaf finials on the gable ends of the Bishop Mills on Old Dumbarton Road in the Partick area of Glasgow. It was built for William Wilson, a miller and grain merchant in 1839 on the site of the much older medieval Mill of Partick.

Beautiful sculpted panel on 202 Hunter Street in the Calton area of Glasgow. Designed by John Gordon and built in 1902, the sculpture reflects the buildings original occupation by a potato and grain merchant. This is probably the largest such relief sculpture on a tenement building in the city.

Sculpted cherubs above the main basket-arched front window of the former British Linen Bank on High Street in Glasgow. Desigbed by James Salmon and Son and built in 1895.
I love the fact that each cherub is not only unique, but has also been given a very dynamic pose.

Sculptures on the corner of Robertson Street and Robertson Lane in Glasgow.
Built in the Glasgow Style in 1901 from a design by JA Campbell, the sculpor for this building is unknown, but there's a lot symbolism crammed into a very small space here. Going from left to right there is: a cherub, a ship's prow, the head of a dolphinfish and a cornucopia (or horn of plenty).

Such rooftop gardens on Glasgow tenements are not as uncommon as you might think, and once you start looking for rooftop railings, you'll start spotting them everywhere.

The impressive Camphill Gate Tenement on Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow. The railings along the top reveal the existence of a feature you cannot see from ground level: A rooftop drying green/garden, from which you can see across the city and out as far as Ben Lomond (on a clear day, at any rate).

Red sandstone tenement, Dumbarton Road, Glasgow.
I love the near symmetry of this building, along with the large windows.
It's also notable that rather than hide the chimney flues behind false windows (as was done in older Glasgow tenements), they've been made into a key design feature of its aesthetic.
