The distinctive classical lines of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's Great Western Terrace in the west end of Glasgow. Completed in 1877, this was one of his final works, and only eight of the eleven houses were built before he died in 1875.

Looking up the River Kelvin through one of the main arches of the Great Western Bridge in Glasgow. Designed by Bell and Miller and opened in 1891, it's primarily built of cast iron.

It's only from underneath that you can really appreciate the engineeeing which has gone into this bridge and kept it standing for more than 130 years

This morning's blue skies over Gartnavel Royal Hospital in Glasgow.

Opened in 1843 and designed by the architect Charles Wilson, Gartnavel Royal Lunatic Asylum (as it was then known) sits on a hill above the west end of Glasgow and casts an imposing presence across this part of the city to this day.
