Crow-stepped gables, fleche and cupola of Pollokshaws Burgh Hall on the southside of Glasgow. Designed by Robert Rowand Anderson in the Scots Renaissance style and constructed in the 1890s, it reproduces details from now-lost Old College buildings on High Street.

I've visited and photographed Pollokshaws Burgh Hall several times, but today was the first time I noticed this fearsome little fellow tucked under the sill of one of the rear windows.

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

How to deal with a dead hippo.

1. Bury it in the River Kelvin
2. Forget about it
3. Find the skull years later by accident
4. Display skull in Library 'cause why not?

Good isn't it?!

Shawbridge Arcade, Pollokshaws, Glasgow, in the process of being demolished.

I love the backlit goldfish that someone has added to the window on the ground floor.

Sir John Maxwell School, Pollokshaws, Glasgow.

Built in 1907 and thought to be design by John H. Hamilton, this neoclassical styled building has been unused since 2011. For such a magnificent building, it is now in a very sad state of repair and is considered at risk of being lost.
