I don't know who's responsible for planting these sunflowers outside Olivia's on Crow Road in Broomhill, but whoever you are, thank you - they're a wonderful addition to the street and always help put a smile on my face.

I spotted these relief sculptures over the entrances to numbers 1 and 3 Elie Street in the Partick area of Glasgow. It's great to see such adornments on relatively new tenement buildings. Modern buildings need more little details like this.

Lone Survivor: It always seems rather sad to come across an orphaned tenement which has been left standing when all its neighbours have been demolished. This one is on Keppochhill Road in Glasgow.

Carving of HMS Agamemnon on a Clydebank tenement at 421 Dumbarton Road.

Built by William Beardmore and Company at the Dalmuir Naval Construction Works, HMS Agamemnon was the largest warship built on the Clyde at the time it was launched in 1906.

I guess this is one way to extend the space available in your west end tenement flat. Not too sure how they got it past the downstairs neighbours, though.

Former Young Men's Christian Institute, Water Row, Govan.

Designed by William Tennant and built in 1897, I love the simple, but elegant lines of this building.

Hello mastodon.scot people!

I'm looking to have a transom window installed over a main door within a Glasgow tenement flat. The main door is private access to our flat.

We believe there might have been a previous transom window that has been boarded over.

Does anyone have experience with getting such installed or have recommendations of companies to speak to?

James Miller's rather fabulous 1898 Glasgow-Style tenement on Bridge Street in the Laurieston area of Glasgow. Most Glasgow-Style buildings are built with red sandstone, while this one is made from blonde sandstone, presumably to blend in with the older tenements around it.

Ghost tenement on Tollcross Road in Glasgow.

I remember this being a common sight across Glasgow in the 1970s and 80s when many tenements were being demolished. The resulting orphaned gable ends were usually cleaned up and sealed, and it's unusual to see one left quite so exposed to this day.

Beautiful sculpted panel on 202 Hunter Street in the Calton area of Glasgow. Designed by John Gordon and built in 1902, the sculpture reflects the buildings original occupation by a potato and grain merchant. This is probably the largest such relief sculpture on a tenement building in the city.

Scottish tenement night latch keys. These odd-looking keys were used to open the latch on the communal close doors in Scottish tenements between the late 1700s and the early 1900s. Some were still in use as recently as the 1980s.

This looks like an amazing bit of ornamental Victorian ironwork on a tenement just off Byre's Road in Glasgow, right up until you realise it's made of plastic!
