Blockade Runners to Spain Memorial on the Clyde Walkway near the Jamaica Street Bridge in Glasgow.

A memorial to the British seafarers who strove to break the fascist blockade of Republican ports during the Spanish Civil War.

How dare the Riverside Museum in Glasgow push this fine speciman of a Glasgow-built bus against a wall! This bus should take center stage. Just move one of those dreadful coronation trams against the wall instead. Only joking

This Albion Venturer was built by Albion Motors Glasgow specifically for Glasgow Corporation Transport in 1949. It was withdrawn from service in 1963.

Chassis: Albion Venturer CX37S. 9.08-litre overhead valve (OHV) Albion diesel engine.

Good morning, Glasgow. It's a wonderful Spring day outside today with clear blue skies, and even a little bit of warmth in the sun when it hits your skin. Almost taps aff weather (but not quite!).

A sculpture of the prow of a boat projecting from the facade of the 1880s Clyde Navigation Trust building on Robertson Street in Glasgow

Clock tower on the Streamline Moderne/Art Deco amenity block in Cathcart, Glasgow. Built for Weir Pumps Ltd in 1937, it was designed by Wylie, Shanks and Wylie.

One of the great things about living in Glasgow is how close you are to some truly wild places, and with the promise of a rather wonderful sunny Spring day ahead, this morning I got up early and headed out of the city. This a tree I came across at Firkin Point on the west bank of Loch Lomond.

An Art Deco style sculpture of the burning bush on A. Gardiner's 1930s Saint David's Church in the Knightswood area of Glasgow. The lettering around the edge translates as 'And it was not consumed' and is the motto of the Church of Scotland. This is usually associated with a Saint Andrew's Cross, but here it's accompanied by four thistles instead.

1880s blonde sandstone townhouses on Kingsborough Gardens in the West End of Glasgow.

Just over a year after it was set fire to and destroyed by vandals, the train in Houldsworth Park (known to pretty much everyone as the Train Park) in Anderston has finally been replaced, much to the joy of the local kids. Thanks to Glasgow City Council and all those who helped make this happen.

Does anyone know the story behind this decorated block (of concrete?) which can be found behind Kelvinbridge Subway Station in Glasgow? I remember reading about it somewhere, but cannot find the source again.

Sauchiehall Street after dark

The rather opulent boardroom of J.J. Burnet's 1880s Clyde Navigation Trust building on Robertson Street in Glasgow.

La Pasionaria on the Clyde Waterfront in Glasgow. Featuring a statue of Dolores Ibarruri, it's a memorial to the volunteers of the Internarional Brigade who fought and died in the fight against the forces of fascism in the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s.

People have been touching his weenie for good luck, so it is polished.

Love these rather beautiful decorative tiles on a cast-iron fireplace in the hallway of a Victorian townhouse in the West End of Glasgow which has now been converted into flats.

Nightfall at the 1960s Saint Vincent Terrace flats in the Anderston area of Glasgow.

There's something very Scottish about this view from Lang Craigs, just to the west of Glasgow. It's not the sheep in the foreground, or the snow-capped Ben Lomond in the distance - it's the tree which has grown with a curved trunk due to the pressure from the ever-present prevailing wind!

Pearl the Oyster Lady on the Kelvingrove Cafe on Argyle Street in Glasgow. Created in 2020, it's one of my favourite pieces of street art in the city.

Love the gi-ant swings beside the House for an Art Lover in Glasgow's Bellahouston Park.
