The tower of Old Cathcart Pariah Church in Glasgow.
Designed by James Dempster in Modern Gothic style and built in 1831, this church replaced an earlier building constructed in 1707. Most of the church was demolished in 1931, but the west front with its distinctive tower remain standing.

Saint George's Tron Parish Church on Buchanan Street in Glasgow.
Designed by William Stark in a Classical style with a Baroque steeple and built in 1807, this is a key landmark in the city centre.

Barony North Church in Glasgow. Built in 1878, it was designed in an Italianate Baroque style by John Honeyman. This is a beautiful and imposing church, but as it's set slightly off any of the main roads, it probably doesn't get the attention it deserves.

The second of the pair of grotesques above the door of Shawlands Cross Church in Glasgow. It's not quite as cute as the other one, which I posted a couple of days ago, but still a great little architectural adornment.

Yesterday I discovered a new favourite Glaswegian ecclesiastical grotesque. It's cute little one which seems to be pulling itself through the wall of Shawlands Cross Church.

One of the octagonal towers on Shawlands Cross Church. Designed by Miller and Black in the wonderfully named Perpendicular Gothic style, it was built in 1903. I particularly like the crown of gargoyles.

MacKintosh's Queen's Cross Church in Glasgow as viewed from Springbank Street. I love the way it continuously steps up towards the main frontage on Garscube Road.

The former Pollokshields West Church on Shields Road in Glasgow. Built in the 1870s, and designed by W.G. Rowan, this church has more than a hint of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson about it, right down to the tall, square tower at one corner and the Egyptian-style palm frond motifs.

Saint Aloysius Church on Rose Street in Glasgow in the today's early morning sun.
Designed by C.J. Menart in a Neo-Baroque style with a distinctive Italianate bell tower (or campanile) at one corner and built in 1908.

Love all the different shapes around the doorway to Saint Mary's Episcopal Cathedral on Great Western Road in Glasgow.
This gothic revival masterpiece was designed by George Gilbert Scott and built in the 1870s.

Old and new grotesques on the corbels of St Mary's Cathedral on Great Western Road in Glasgow.
This rather glorious building was subject to £3.5 million restoration project in the 2000s, and during this process they replaced some of the worn-out traditional grotesques with likenesses of members of its congregation and clergy, as well as those who worked on the restoration. Personally, I love it and think it's a great touch.

The former Chalmer's Free Church at 100 Pollokshaws Road in Glasgow.
Built in 1897, this beautiful little Baroque style church was designed by H and D Barclay.
For me, this is one of Glasgow's architectural hidden gems.

South Shawlands Church in Glasgow.
Designed by Miller and Black and built in 1912, this church has an imposing Gothic style entrance with an extra wide door and a matching traceried window above it. Overall, it's a very simple, but very effective design.

The simple, but elegant, pencil tower of Cathcart New Church in Glasgow. Designed by John Bennie Wilson and built in 1907, this is a stunning and unique little building was turned into residential housing in 2006.
