The main buildings of Glasgow University towering over the tenements and other buildings in the west of the city.

I've passed this building for years, but only realised today what it was built for. It has the inscription 6th Btn HLI, which stands for the 6th Batallion of the Highland Light Infantry, and it was built as a military Drill Hall and Headquarters.

It was designed by William Hunter McNab in a combination of castellated Tudoresque and Arts and Crafts style and built in 1901.

Another great mural brightening up an otherwise rather dull orphaned gable end in Govan in Glasgow. By artist KMG, it was inspired by the themes of family and migration.

It is part of the GRID (Glasgow Riverside Innovation District) project from Yardworks which aims to unite and inspire the areas of Yorhill, Partick and Govan using public art.
