Absolutely love this beautiful patterned Victorian tile from Partick Lesser Hall in the West End of Glasgow. The building was designed by William Leiper and was built in 1872.

Love this C-Listed late 19th Century Villa on Maxwell Drive on the Southside of Glasgow. It's a really nice building, and a very unusual style for the city.

Florentine House on Hillhead Street in the West End of Glasgow. Built in 1828, it was amongst the first villas to be constructed in the Hillhead area of Glasgow as the city expanded westward.

The former Cathcart smithy on Old Castle Road in Glasgow. Established some 300 years ago, it was once home to the Peddie family whose ancestors were armourers and smiths to the Cathcart family.

St Mary Immaculate Church in the Pollokshaws area of Glasgow. Built on a hill overlooking the surrounding houses, it's a beautiful little Gothic style Victorian church. Designed by W. Nicholson, it was constructed in 1865.

Glasgow's has been found to be the best city in the UK to raise children. Yes, it's a survey by an estate agency (so make of that what you will), but it's interesting to look at why the city came out top.

I'm a bit of a sucker for brick-built industrial buildings, especially those which incorporate polychromatic brickwork decorations, like the 1910s former Wallace Scott Tailoring Instititue in the Cathcart area of Glasgow.
