The Barclay Curle Titan: Glasgow's other crane.
Built in 1920 by Sir William Arrol and Co for the Barclay Curle Shipyard in Whiteinch, this is an A-listed structure, but it seems little is being done to preserve it.

This is a great example of an Art Nouveau font on the stone nameplate for Saint Paul's Parish Halls on Dumbarton Road in Whiteinch, Glasgow.

There are some amazing little details on Glasgow buildings. This example is of oak branches on the doorway of Whiteinch Public Library. I'm presuming this is a reference to public libraries providing the acorns of knowledge from which the mighty oak trees that create our society grow.

The Last of the Titans
Titan cranes were once amongst the most powerful cranes on the planet. Of the eleven that are left in the world, four can be found on the banks of the Clyde in western Scotland.
These are the Stobcross Crane, the Barcley Curle Crane (both in Glasgow), the Titan in Clydebank and the Janes Watt Dock Crane in Greenock.
