The former Baptist Mission Church on Canal Street, Glasgow. It was built in a domestic style in 1898 for mission work in the Port Dundas area of the city. This continued until it closed in 1958. It's one of the few unlisted older buildings left standings in this area.

The Pinkston Basin in the North of Glasgow. At one time this formed the junction between the Forth and Clyde Canal (completed 1792) and the Monkland Canal (completed in 1794). The Monkland Canal has now mostly been filled in and replaced by the M8 motorway.
