A classic and beautiful blonde sandstone Tenement building on University Avenue in Glasgow. It was built in 1901.

A sunset shot looking west from Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow taken a few days ago. The building is Glasgow University, while the statue is part of the Lord Roberts Monument.

Another misty start to the day today here in Glasgow, but it did make for some atmospheric photo opportunities.
It also made for a relatively pleasant conditions for my early morning run.

This 1850s townhouse overlooking Kelvingrove Park in the west end of Glasgow has an interesting little bit of history attached to it.
In the 1930s, it was home to Archibald Young the professor of Surgery at Glasgow University, and when Albert Einstein visited the city in 1933 to receive an honourary degree, it was here that he stayed.

Not a real picture, but a bit of fun to mark last night's blue supermoon. Supermoons are when the moon looms larger in the sky because it's briefly closer to the Earth. A blue moon is the second full moon in a calendar month. This was done with photoshop, but both images were taken in Glasgow.

The gothic splendour of the University of Glasgw on Gilmorehill rising above the houses of the north of the city as seen from Speirs Wharf on the Forth and Clyde Canal early this morning.

Good morning Glasgow. The university was looking as spectacular as ever in today's early morning sun. The clouds in the background looked a bit ominous though!

A summer evening on the River Kelvin in Glasgow, with the Glasgow University tower lit up by the last rays of the sun.

Today's animal in Glasgow's architecture is this cute little thing poking it's face out from some foliage on Glasgow University's Memorial Chapel.
I know I've posted a picture of this before, but it's good enough to be worth posting again.

One of the two remaining classical town houses on University Gardens in Glasgow designed by J.J. Burnet and built in 1882.
These buildings are famous of two things:
1. Having the cheapest beer on campus (when they housed the Research Club).
2. Being the birthplace the word 'Isotope' in 1913.
I don't think these two claims to fame are related in any way (but then again, who knows!).

The main buildings of Glasgow University towering over the tenements and other buildings in the west of the city.

Love this intricate Gothic Arch doorway, surrounded by relief sculptures of thistles and enclosing carved wooden doors on Glasgow University's main buildings.

The gothic turrets, chimneys and spires of the main Gilmorehill Campus buildings of Glasgow University. Designed by George Gilbert Scott and built in the second half of the 19th Century. By then, the universitt was already more than 400 years old.

The castle-like entrance to the Glasgow University Student Union building on University Avenue.
Designed by Alan McNaughton in a Free Scots Baronial style and constructed in 1930. Not everyone's student union of choice, but an imposing building none-the-less.

Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this wonderful little dragon nestled amongst the foliage around the entrance of what was originally the Anderston Free Chuch, but is now the Gillmorehill Centre of Glasgow University.

An astonishing finding by #GlasgowUniversity researchers- 80% of male young #offenders have suffered a significant head injury at some point. This comes after concerns about #HeadInjury in sport

Knowledge anf Inspiration by Walter Pritchard. Created in the 1950s, this sculpture can be found on a wall above University Gardens in the west end of Glasgow. I must have been along that road many times, but never really noticed how lovely this sculpture is until yesterday.

However, the lurid reports of the duel in a university magazine have been questioned in recent years and despite its place in university folklore, it's now uncertain whether it ever actually took place.
