The ornate water tower of the former Ruchill Hospital in the north of Glasgow as seen from the hospital's main staircase. Built in the 1890s, this is one of A.B. MacDonald's many iconic contributions to the cityscape of Glasgow.

Late 19th Century brick buildings on the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal in Ruchill.
It's great to see the one in the background is currently being refurbished as it had been in a rather poor state of repair for a while now and I'd often wondered if it would eventually be demolished.

Stained glass window, Ruchill Parish Church Halls, Glasgow. The unmistakable magnificence of Charles Rennie MacKintosh.

The ornate top of the water tower of the old Ruchill Hospital in Glasgow. This was designed by A. B.McDonald and was built in 1892.
As the hospital was built on the top of a hill, the water tower was needed to create sufficient water pressure to supply the hospital with running water.
While much of the rest of the hospital has been demolished, the tower survives and remains an important landmark in the north of the city.

Ruchill Parish Church Halls on Shakespeare Street in Glasgow. Designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh and built in 1899. Considered by some to be a minor work by MacKintosh, to me this is a real gem and shows he could work just as well on a small scale as a grand one.

The new Stockingfield Bridge in the north of Glasgow. It provides the first pedestrian link between the communities of Ruchill, Gilshochill and Maryhill since the Forth and Clyde Canal was opened in 1790. Love the sinuosity of its long sweeping lines.
